Fact Sheet: Congressional Agenda for Banking and Finance Must Prioritize Protecting Main Street Americans in the 119th Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Travis Horr, Director of External Affairs, issued the following statement in connection with Better Markets’ proposed agenda for Banking and Finance for the 119th Congress:

“Donald Trump enters the White House with a unified Republican Congress. Many lawmakers, including Trump, ran their campaigns on the promise of lowering costs and unrigging the economy for Main Street workers, consumers, and families. It will now be up to them to enact that agenda and deliver on these campaign promises.

“It is important that the next Congress continues to prevent, lower or eliminate junk fees in financial services, strengthen the financial sector from crashes and bailouts, lower costs for homeowners and all borrowers, and enable more Americans to participate in the American Dream and build wealth. To do that will require resisting the lobbying of the financial industry to engage in mindless deregulation. There are clear concrete steps Congress can take to enact an agenda that empowers Main Street, and Better Markets will continue to advocate for these common-sense proposals.”
