Former U.S. Senator John E. Sununu, member of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)

Called a philosopher and the smartest man in the Senate, Senator John Sununu (R-NH) cut a unique path from the private sector to public office, serving three terms in the House of Representatives and six years as the youngest member of the U.S. Senate. Before entering public service, Sununu worked for emerging high-tech firms as an engineer, a strategy consultant, and a CFO. In Congress, he put his expertise to work for the country, serving on Senate committees, such as Commerce, Finance, Banking, and Foreign Relations. Known as a strong fiscal conservative and an author of legislation reforming the regulation of financial institutions, Sununu currently serves as one of five panel members responsible for the oversight of TARP funds, and has developed numerous proposals for regulatory reform, mortgage issuance, and national insurance oversight.

In the House, Sununu rose quickly to earn a seat on the Appropriations Committee and serve as vice chairman of the Budget Committee. During his term in the Senate, Sununu wrote comprehensive legislation to reform financial giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and negotiated a seven-year ban on Internet taxes. Senator Sununu holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard University.
