On January 4, Baker informed the US House Ethics Committees about the potential conflict of interest and the possibility of his resignation if he takes on the role. Baker has been a Louisiana representative for more than 20 years, and was outspoken in his views against government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

At the MFA, Baker would focus on domestic policy issues, while John Gaine, MFA’s current president, would focus on establishing international sound practice standards.
