"I'm one of those folks," said Kashkari, who is considered one of the Fed's more hawkish policymakers.
Kashkari said that if inflation cools next year as expected, the Fed will need to cut rates to keep policy from tightening too much.
But he also said he has been surprised by how well consumer spending has held up despite the Fed's rate hikes so far.
"Everybody on the Federal Open Market Committee is committed" to bringing inflation back down to the Fed's 2% target, he said.
Inflation by the Fed's preferred measure was 3.3% in July.
