Warren Statement on Senate Banking Committee

Washington, D.C. – Today, in response to the news that U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will become the top Democrat on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee in the next Congress, she released the following statement: 

“I’ve spent my entire career fighting to make our economy work better for middle-class families – not just for the wealthy and well-connected. Decisions made by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs have a powerful impact on Americans’ lives, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to fight for families who most need a government on their side. 

“In the aftermath of the 2024 election, it’s powerfully important for Democratic leadership to show that we can make life more affordable for working people and to act with urgency to rebuild our middle class. For Massachusetts and hard-working families nationwide, this new role means a better chance to advance solutions like building more housing to lower prices and protecting consumers from private equity greed and special interest scams.

“As Banking Chairman, Sherrod Brown has been an unwavering advocate for American workers, the dignity of work, and consumer protection. I admire his leadership and respect his years of passionate public service.”
