Mr. Chairman, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act. This critical piece of legislation rolls back onerous Obama-era regulations on the financial services industry that are strangling small businesses and hurting hardworking American taxpayers. As I held roundtables across West Virginia, I heard from small- business owners and job creators that Obama-era regulations make it harder for community banks to make loans to small businesses and first- time home buyers. The Financial CHOICE Act will remove stifling Federal regulations from out-of-touch Washington bureaucrats and return financial decisionmaking to you, the individual consumers and to the small community banks. I know that President Trump is committed to supporting the reforms in the Financial CHOICE Act, and I look forward to continuing to work with our President to grow our economy and bring much-needed relief to West Virginia consumers and small-business owners. I want to thank Chairman Hensarling and my colleagues on the Financial Services Committee for their leadership on this important legislation.
