A financial regulatory agency focused on consumers is crucial.

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.

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

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

I believe that it would exacerbate an already-huge inequity that many people of color, that many people in our communities experience on a daily basis.

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.
