So, for us, it means that without all of that closing and being able to access that credit, we will never do much about reducing the racial wealth gap.

In my district, which is very similar to Mr. Garcia's in Chicago, financial services are not broadly used.

It affects many people and many communities throughout the country, a diverse immigrant community that is engaged in remittances very deeply.

I represent a working-class immigrant district in Chicago. Remittances mean a lot to my constituents and to their families in other countries.

What are you doing to ensure that your Agency is inclusive and diverse in its practices, in its programs, and specifically, I am always concerned about financial literacy in materials from your Agency and in programming that would be…

The CFPB doesn't forget that, and that is critical.

A financial regulatory agency focused on consumers is crucial.

The trust and data access in a banking relationship is dangerous in the hands of a commercial company.

We understand that the judiciary has not made judges' 2019 annual disclosures publicly available in response to a request for all disclosures.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Judge, for being with you us and for taking on quite a heavy load dealing with judicial ethics.

I do think Federal legislation can be very powerful for ensuring that we have good pro-voter policies in place.

We have to make the process as private and independent as possible.

There are poor people who are not going to be able to access those basic necessities of life, even something as simple as just handing cash to a child to get their meal at school.

To not be able to use your money is a form of economic exclusion, and, as Chairwoman Waters said, it is economic discrimination and segregation.

The idea that one cannot use cash, legal tender, to purchase food for themselves or their families is absolutely devastating.

Thank you for your patience and your perseverance with us today.

I represent a working-class district in Chicago. Many of my neighbors lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is a growing body of evidence that background screening products result in harmful discriminatory effects on Black and Latino Americans.

My district is 77-percent Latino. We are the fastest-growing market in the United States.

Congress must protect women's constitutional freedom to decide over their bodies. After the cruel Texas--my home State--abortion ban, I visited the local Planned Parenthood and heard horrific stories of women already resorting to…

I would like to direct my first question to Mr. Wooden. When the Fed helped out the corporate bond market last year, did they have to deal with similar terms, and the same level of stigma?

Unfortunately, our bond ratings make national news. But what that means for us who live in working-class communities like mine is that schools, clinics, and libraries closed.

When I first saw that the Federal Reserve was establishing a facility to help municipal bonds, I was relieved

Thank you once again for your leadership on this issue and for prioritizing this very important piece of legislation that will help many constituents in my district and all across America stay housed this winter.
