Esther George, the Kansas City Federal Reserve (Fed) president, is considered a hawk. George favors raising interest rates and fears the potential price bubbles that accompany inflation. Loretta Mester, the Cleveland Fed president, also fits into this category. Mester studied under Charles Plosser, the former president of the Fed Bank of Philadelphia and a committed hawk. She worries about inflation caused by the low-interest rates championed by doves. Of the current voting members of the Fed, Raphael Bostic, the Atlanta Fed President, is considered to be quite hawkish.
