Mr. Mulvaney's tenure at the Consumer Bureau was extremely harmful to consumers.
The NAACP is proud to support a number of pieces of legislation to rebuild the CFPB, most notably the bill which was introduced by you, Chairwoman Waters.
I would caution you to refrain from identifying others or characterizing them in relationship to their political party or whether or not they are capitalists or socialists.
This committee will not tolerate the Trump Administration's anti-consumer actions.
We fear for the economic well-being of our families, neighborhoods, communities, and our nation because we were beginning to see the good that a strong CFPB can do.
There was zero fair lending public enforcement actions taken during Mr. Mulvaney's tenure.
The decimation of the CFPB hurts all Americans. We should all be concerned and quite frankly outraged.
the thing that was most outrageous, and why I share this story. It is to show you how these issues not only impact disproportionately racial and ethnic minorities, but because she had no place else to go.
The income gap between white Americans and Americans of color continues to widen. Yet, our communities are consistently being targeted by nefarious financial servicers with their unsustainable wealth steaming products.
Will you restore the Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity's supervisory and enforcement powers?
As chairwoman of this committee, I am committed to reversing the damage that Mr. Mulvaney caused.
Without a sustained commitment among financial services firms to overcoming challenges to recruiting and retaining minority candidates, limited progress will be possible in fostering a more diverse workplace.
It is critical that the Federal Reserve remain vigilant in protecting this economy.
