Former Congressman Patrick McHenry, who represented North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2005 to 2025, serves on BGR’s Advisory Board. In this role, he works with BGR Group’s Financial Services and Tax Practice Group to provide strategic counsel on issues ranging from expanding access to financial markets to tax and reconciliation process. During his time in the House, McHenry served as Republican Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, a committee he served on throughout his tenure in Congress.
Also during his time in Congress, McHenry served in various positions of leadership. In 2015, he was selected by then House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (LA) to be the Chief Deputy Whip. As Chief Deputy Whip, Chairman McHenry directly assisted Majority Whip Scalise by building consensus for the conservative policy agenda of the House Republican Conference. One of his proudest accomplishments as Chief Deputy Whip was the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which helped to fix our nation’s broken tax code and provided much-needed tax relief to American families and businesses.
During the 113th Congress, Chairman McHenry served as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. In this role, he provided oversight of the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other federal financial regulators.
