In May 2006 President George W. Bush announced his intention to appoint Paulson as Secretary of the Treasury.[16] Kashkari contacted Paulson and asked to join him at Treasury. Despite not knowing Kashkari well,[17] Paulson had him flown to Washington, D.C., and offered him a job as a policy generalist shortly after Kashkari had begun his pitch. Kashkari accepted, and then Paulson remembered to confirm that Kashkari was a Republican.[18]

After the U.S. Senate confirmed Paulson, he and Kashkari started at Treasury on the same day.[17] Kashkari was one of several Goldman employees who followed Paulson to Treasury.[19]
