Dodd-Frank's current regulations and guidelines span 8,231 pages.

I have come to strongly believe that Dodd-Frank is damaging our economy and is slowing our Nation's economic recovery.

Policymakers from across the political spectrum should be able to work constructively together to refine at least some parts of Dodd-Frank.

I am concerned that these changes will pose a significant burden on mortgage lenders, including community banks and credit unions.
