Keith Ellison
The Public Record
We've got a fight ahead of us. We've got to come together. And we will.
I think we're going to see more of this. I think we've just got to be very clear that we're on a call. We're going to correct the record and tell the truth to the American people. There's no record of millions of people who are not…
What if there was a way with no government money and the backing of Democrats and Republicans to give tens of millions of Americans an increase in their credit scores...
We do have substantial empirical evidence about the benefits of reporting on-time utility and telecom payments.
Sarbanes-Oxley didn't come about because everything was going great. And if we relax those requirements, I am concerned that, you know, some of the trouble that we saw back then could return.
If any one of us were unindicted co-conspirators, you know what that would mean? That we are innocent.
If I were to say the words radical Islamist terrorists, it wouldn't stop--it wouldn't make ISIS vanish.
I wish that people would just come to their senses and do what was right for the American people.
If Congress had funded an infrastructure bank for example and rebuilt schools, bridges, roads, and transit, we would have lower unemployment and a stronger economy.
The 15 percent credit my bill proposes would help more than 16 million current homeowners.
I cannot ignore the pressing housing needs of Americans and the current problems that the current mortgage interest deduction causes.
The status quo means giving significant tax breaks to families that earn more than $100,000 a year.
Congressman Ellison, you can't get clean on the street. You can't hold a job on the street. We need housing.
I have long been critical of refund anticipation loans, RAL loans. These short-term high-cost bank loans secured by the taxpayers' expected tax refund are often predatory and expensive.
we have all learned the painful reality that markets do not regulate themselves, and a nation as powerful as ours must invest in regulation
It is far from clear to me, and I think it would be far from clear to most people in the United States, why that is in the interests of the republic.
Anyone following the Presidential election knows that many people think that the rules are rigged in favor of powerful companies.
I actually have a bill called the Investor Choice Act, H.R. 1098, that would prohibit predispute mandatory arbitration clauses in investment contracts.
How is allowing a defendant to essentially forum shop in the public interest?
conflicted investment advice costs investors a lot of money. Some have said $17 billion a year.
I am very supportive of the Department of Labor's decision to move forward with a rulemaking to protect workers.
