WASHINGTON–House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), who has been a champion of deregulation, has been added as a speaker at NAFCU’s Congressional Caucus in September.
Other new additions to the agenda also include Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), and Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Director Jennifer Shasky-Calvery.
The meeting is scheduled Sept. 14-17 in Washington.
Hensarling has been leading House efforts to roll back the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, including NAFCU-backed measures to create a five-person commission to lead the CFPB, with an emphasis on the need for regulatory relief for community-based financial institutions.
Sherman is a member of the House Financial Services Committee and the lead Democrat on H.R. 989, the “Capital Access for Small Businesses and Jobs Act.” This NAFCU-backed measure would authorize the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to allow credit unions more access to supplemental capital.
Rounds was sworn in as a senator earlier this year. He serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senate Banking Committee, Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee and Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
Also on the agenda are Small Business Administration Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet, Chief House Deputy Majority Whip and House Financial Services Committee Vice Chairman Patrick McHenry (R-NC), and more.
