Senators we supported are strong on financial reform
Last fall, Friends of Traditional Banking members around the country donated hundreds of thousands to help reelect Sens. Pat Toomey (PA) and Rob Portman (OH). Both are providing strong voices for financial reform.
"There is bi-partisan interest in regulatory reforms," Portman said recently on CNBC's Squawk Box. "If you talk to some of our community banks," he said, "they are being hit hard by these regulations."
"For too long now we've been putting up with a Dodd-Frank bill that is costing us a lot of economic growth and opportunity," Toomey said on the Senate floor. "I am hoping our Democratic colleagues will work with us so that we can begin to make the constructive changes that we need. But if not, I think we should use all tools available to get this job done."
