I just want to say how delighted I am. I am the newest member of this committee and looking forward to serving with you as chair and with our Ranking Member and doing the hard work that this committee should be doing.

Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) after the financial crisis so there would be a government agency that had the tools and the authority to protect consumers from being cheated on their mortgages, credit…

Competitive advantage, taking away clients from other banks.

Do you believe that the CFPB's Office of Servicemember Affairs has benefited military servicemembers and their families, and if so, why?

What concerns me right now is that too many servicemembers are being roped into expensive credentialing programs by predatory, for-profit colleges.

We train them to do these jobs with precision, to do them without mistakes, to do them in Active combat situations.

In just 5-1/2 years, the CFPB has forced companies to return $12 billion dollars directly to consumers they cheated.

I definitely do not want to change or lower civilian certification standards. That is not the problem here.

Do you believe that the CFPB should continue to look out for the best interests of servicemembers to make sure they're not overcharged by banks or student loan companies that break the law, and if so, why?

the President's Chief Economic Adviser is wrong about that pretty basic fact.

President Trump has called Dodd-Frank Act a 'disaster,' and he has vowed to 'dismantle' it.

Yes, CFPB should continue to look out for the best interests of servicemembers and their families to make sure they're not overcharged by banks or student loan companies that break the law.
