When the Federal Reserve began a string of interest rate cuts last year for the first time since the global financial crisis a decade ago, policymakers had become divided over how to keep the economy in a healthy place.

With growing recession fears and escalating trade tensions, some called for more aggressive stimulus measures. Others thought action was unnecessary against a backdrop of historically low unemployment levels and robust consumer activity.

That could change in 2020 as the Fed shifts the power of its policy-setting committee. The leaders of four regional central banks - Chicago, Boston, St. Louis, and Kansas City - will lose votes in 2020 as part of a routine rotation that takes place each year.

Instead, the chiefs of Federal Reserve offices in Dallas, Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Cleveland will vote on the 12-member Federal Open Market Committee. Here's where they stand on monetary policy ahead of the next FOMC meeting in late January.
