Cordray was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1990. After redistricting, Cordray decided to run for the United States House of Representatives in 1992 but was defeated. The following year he was appointed by the Ohio Attorney General as the first Solicitor General of Ohio. His experience as Solicitor led to his appearance before the United States Supreme Court to argue six cases. Following Republican victories in Ohio statewide elections in 1994, Cordray left his appointed position and entered the private practice of law. While in private practice he unsuccessfully ran for Ohio Attorney General in 1998 and the United States Senate in 2000. He was elected Franklin County treasurer in 2002 and reelected in 2004 before being elected Ohio State Treasurer in 2006.
Cordray was elected Ohio Attorney General in November 2008 to fill the remainder of the term ending in January 2011. In 2010, Cordray lost his bid for reelection to former U.S. Senator Mike DeWine. He became Director of the CFPB via recess appointment in July 2011 and was confirmed by the Senate in 2013. During his six years at the helm, the CFPB delivered major improvements in consumer financial products such as mortgages, credit cards, and student loans and returned $12 billion in relief to 29 million Americans.[1] Cordray left the agency in late 2017 to run for governor of Ohio,[2] an election he lost to DeWine.[3] In 2021, Cordray was named to head Federal Student Aid, where he has overseen student loan forgiveness for 3.6 million Americans.[4][5]
Early life and education

Early career
After starting work as a
From 1989 to at least 2000, Cordray taught various courses at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and Georgetown University.[7]
Ohio House of Representatives
In 1990 Cordray ran for an Ohio State House of Representatives seat, in the 33rd district (southern and western Franklin County), against six-term incumbent Republican Don Gilmore.[13] Unopposed for the Democratic nomination,[14] he defeated Gilmore by an 18,573–11,944 (61–39%) margin.[15]
1992 congressional election
In 1991 the state Apportionment Board, controlled by a 3–2 Republican majority despite the party's 61–38 minority in the state House of Representatives,[16] redrew state legislative districts following the results of the 1990 Census, in the hope of retaking control of the state House.[17] The new boundaries created nine districts each with two resident incumbent Democrats, pairing Cordray with the 22-year incumbent Mike Stinziano.[18][19] Unable to be elected in another district due to a one-year residency requirement, Cordray opted not to run for reelection.[20]

Cordray was granted a ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court that lower courts could not grant a stay of execution for a death row inmate. At the same time, Fisher, Cordray's boss, sought a referendum to mandate that appeals in death penalty cases be made directly to the Supreme Court.[39] In 1994 the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Steffen v. Tate (39 F.3d 622 1994) limited death row inmates to a single federal appeal and said that federal courts cannot stay an execution if the case is still in a state court.[40]
In early 1996 Cordray was elected to the Ohio Democratic Party Central Committee from the 15th district by a 5,472–1,718 margin over John J. Kulewicz.[41] From 1995 to 2007 Cordray was a sole practitioner and Of Counsel to Kirkland & Ellis.[42]
In late 1996 Cordray, who was in private practice at the time, was a leading contender and finalist for a
1998 Ohio Attorney General election
During the 1998
2000 U.S. Senate election
Cordray entered the
Franklin county treasurer
Cordray was unopposed in the May 7, 2002, primary election for the Democratic nomination as Franklin County treasurer.[55] He defeated Republican incumbent Wade Steen, who had been appointed in May 2001 to replace Bobbie M. Hall.[56] The election was close, unofficially 131,199–128,677 (50.5%–49.5%), official margin of victory 3,232.[57][58] Cordray was the first Democrat to hold the position since 1977,[59] and he assumed office on December 9, 2002, instead of after January 1 because he was filling Hall's unexpired term.[60]
The Franklin County Republican party made no endorsement in the 2004 election,[61] but Republican Jim Timko challenged Cordray.[62] Cordray defeated him and was elected to a four-year term by a 272,593–153,625 (64%–36%) margin.[63][64]
As Franklin County treasurer Cordray focused on four major initiatives: collection of delinquent tax revenue through a tax lien certificate sale, creation of a land bank, personal finance education, and the development of a community outreach program.[65] He managed a portfolio that averaged $650 million and consistently beat its benchmarks, and set new records for delinquent tax collection in Franklin County, which was the only Ohio county with a AAA credit rating.[66][67] He also served as president of the Board of Revision and chair of the Budget Commission.[68] In 2005, Cordray was named the national County Leader of the Year by American City & County magazine.[69]

2010 election
On November 2, 2010, Cordray lost his reelection bid to former U.S. senator Mike DeWine, receiving 46% of the vote to DeWine's 48%.[90]
Cordray was repeatedly mentioned as a potential 2014 candidate for governor of Ohio,[91][92] but after being confirmed to a five-year term to head the CFPB, he declined to run.[93]

On July 17, 2011, Cordray was selected as the head of the entire CFPB,
On January 4, 2012, Obama gave Cordray a
The validity of the recess appointment was challenged by the courts, and in June 2014, in the decision in
On January 24, 2013, Obama renominated Cordray as CFPB director.[112][113][114][115] Senate Republicans opposed his nomination ,[112] but amid a July 2013 push by Senate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster for all executive-branch nominees, senators struck a deal to pave the way for a final, up-or-down vote. The Senate voted 71–29 on July 16, 2013, to invoke cloture on Cordray's nomination,[116][117] and confirmed Cordray in a 66–34 vote the same day.[116]
Under Cordray, the CFPB grew to be a 1,600-person agency, and he was called to testify before Congress more than 40 times.[118] During his tenure, the CFPB developed new mortgage lending rules that are credited with bringing lasting stability to markets after the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.[119] The CFPB also implemented reforms to the credit card market that lowered consumer costs and promoted transparency by reducing hidden fees and charges.[120] It imposed large fines on banks for credit card add-on fees and brought the first major enforcement action against Wells Fargo.[121] While Cordray served as director, the CFPB returned nearly $12 billion in relief for 29 million consumers.[122] In this position, he also served on the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Board of Governors for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and as vice chair of the Financial Literacy and Education Commission.
Republican groups including American Rising Squared and Congressman Jeb Hensarling filed complaints that Cordray had violated the Hatch Act by considering a run for governor of Ohio while serving as the director of the CFPB, but the United States Office of Special Counsel cleared Cordray of any wrongdoing.[123]
Cordray has said that after President Trump was inaugurated, Trump and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney worked to undermine Cordray and the CFPB.[124] On November 15, 2017, Cordray announced his resignation as director of the CFPB, sparking a legal dispute over who would succeed him as acting director.[125]
2018 Ohio gubernatorial election
On December 5, 2017, Cordray announced his candidacy for
Federal student aid
On May 3, 2021, Cordray was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer of Federal Student Aid in the Department of Education.[130] In this role, he leads an agency of 1,400 employees that is the nation's largest provider of student financial aid.[131] Each year, FSA disburses grants, loans, and work-study funds that help over 10 million students access higher education.[132] It is also responsible for managing a portfolio of $1.6 trillion in student loan debt owed by 45 million borrowers.[133] During Cordray’s tenure, FSA has made significant improvements to existing loan forgiveness programs that have resulted in canceling $127 billion in student loan debt for 3.6 million families.[134] FSA has also rebuilt its Enforcement Office to crack down on schools that defraud students and taxpayers.[135]
Personal life
On July 11, 1992, In 2020, Cordray wrote the book Watchdog: How Protecting Consumers Can Save Our Families, Our Economy, and Our Democracy, about his years leading the CFPB.
