The House Financial Services Committee of the 113th Congress is coming together, as Chairman-elect Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) announced his leadership team.

Rep. Gary Miller (R-Calif.) will serve as vice chairman. Miller made news in credit union circles during NAFCU's Congressional Caucus in September when he said he was offended that the California Credit Union League backed another candidate during his re-election bid.

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.) will serve as chairman of the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee. Capito pressed the CFPB to amend a CARD Act rule to allow non-working spouses to apply for credit cards and establish credit in their own names. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) will serve in a newly created position as the Committee Whip. Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas) was named chairman of the Insurance, Housing and Community Opportunity Subcommittee.
