MS Gov. Nominates New Banking Commissioner

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said Tuesday that he is nominating a regulator with almost 20 years of experience to be the state commissioner of banking and consumer finance.

Rhoshunda Kelly of Madison will need to be confirmed by the state Senate. She has been interim commissioner at the state Department of Banking and Consumer Finance since July.

“Her experience and dedication to the department will be an asset to the industry as well as the citizens who utilize the services of state-chartered banks and credit unions across Mississippi,” Reeves said in a news release.
