Financial Services

As a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee, I have long fought for a financial system that is fair, resilient, and inclusive. I am committed to ensuring all Americans, especially those in historically underserved communities, can access capital, credit, investment opportunities, and financial tools to build wealth. Growing up in public housing, I was inspired by parents that worked hard to ensure that their children had better opportunities than the ones they had. I believe that our communities thrive when everyone has access to wealth building opportunities that pave the way for future generations. Now, as a member of Congress, I bring that inspiration each day as I work to bridge the wealth gaps across our nation and to advocate for the underrepresented voice in financial services.  

In Congress, I am focused on finding ways to: 

  • Expand access to affordable housing and homeownership, 

  • Strengthen Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), Minority Deposit Institutions (MDIs) and community banks, 

  • Promote diversity and inclusion in corporate governance and in the financial sector, 

  • Champion reforms to safeguard consumers from predatory practices, improve financial literacy, and hold Wall Street accountable.  

  • Ensure U.S. financial policy supports global economic stability and competitiveness. Support for economic development in emerging markets. 

Whether fighting redlining, backing small businesses, or shaping crypto regulation, I am driven by a clear vision of equity, accountability, and long-term economic growth.
