Issue Position: Financial Services

Issue Position

During the years preceding the mortgage crisis, too many mortgages were made to consumers without regard to the consumer's ability to repay the loans. In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which I voted for, was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act aims to reform the U.S. financial industry, in order to prevent a recurrence of the 2008 housing and financial crisis.
