CUNA announces Alex Catanese as Director of Advocacy

CUNA announced the appointment of Alex Catanese as its newest director of advocacy. Catanese will help manage the association’s relationships with Democrats on a variety of key advocacy issues in his role at CUNA.

He previously served as CUNA’s Associate Director for Political Outreach, strengthening the CUNA-League system’s political engagement efforts with members of the Democratic Caucus.

Catanese played an integral role in helping the Credit Union Legislative Action Council (CULAC) achieve a 96% success rate in the 2022 mid-term elections when 382 credit union supported candidates won their elections to the U.S. House and Senate.

“We’re very excited to have Alex join the federal advocacy team as CUNA, Leagues, and credit unions look to make a lasting impact in the 118th Congress,” said Jason Stverak, CUNA’s deputy chief advocacy officer for federal government affairs. “Since joining CUNA in August 2021, Alex has proven himself to be an effective political strategist and is ready to hit the ground running as we look to advance credit union priorities on Capitol Hill.”
