I am proud of the work we have accomplished on this Committee through both legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank and the Credit CARD Acts.

Last Congress, bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senator Daniel Akaka (S. 998) and Representative George Miller (H.R. 1867) to address this problem and assure that all pilots are provided fair benefits.

I fought to include a report on remittance transfers in the Dodd-Frank provisions.

When Americans make wise economic decisions and are protected from bad actors, our economy and Nation are stronger for it.
