I have been an advocate for consumers my entire adult life, and since coming to Congress, I have continued my fight to protect consumers from unsafe products, identity theft, and privacy invasions. The last few years have revealed the risks of personal records flowing over the Internet, lax security of financial information, and growing numbers of recalls of unsafe products. Consumers safety, financial security and privacy are being jeopardized and I am working to help protect them.
I am Vice-Chair of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection (CTCP), which has jurisdiction over consumers safety, rights, and privacy.
