The House Financial Services Committee considers measures on banking, economic stabilization, insurance, international finance, and securities. The financial services industry is important to the region I represent in Congress, with more than 68,000 financial services jobs in Central Ohio.

As a Member of the Financial Services Committee, I am leading the fight to allow our markets to function more effectively to boost economic competition. I serve on the Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises and the Subcommittee on Insurance, Housing and Community Opportunity. I also serve as co-chair of the Financial Literacy Caucus with Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (D-OH) and the Middle Market Growth Caucus with Congressman Tom MacArthur (R-NJ), Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) and Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).

Below are some of my priorities in the 115th Congress:

SMALL BUSINESS CREDIT AVAILABILITY ACT: This Congress, I introduced the Small Business Credit Availability Act along with Representatives Brad Sherman (D-CA), Patrick McHenry (R-NC), and Gwen Moore (D-WI). This bipartisan legislation will make important reforms to enable Business Development Companies (BDCs) to deploy more capital to America’s small and middle market companies, allowing them to meet their financing needs so they can grow their businesses and hire more workers.

The legislation reduces BDCs' asset-ratio requirement enabling more investments in small and middle-market America.  The bill would also modernize BDCs' securities offering requirements by eliminating costly and duplicative regulatory paperwork that diverts investments away from job creation and economic growth. I was proud to see this legislation signed into law as part of the omnibus funding bill in March 2018.

FINANCIAL CHOICE ACT: This Congress, the committee’s priorities include creating jobs, implementing Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s transition out of Federal conservatorship, and improving cybersecurity of consumers’ personal information. The committee has also been focused on doing away with the job-killing provisions of Dodd-Frank.

Last year, the House passed H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act, a comprehensive reform of Dodd-Frank. The regulations stemming from Dodd-Frank have caused great harm to consumers – including preventing some Americans from getting loans to buy a car or house – while doing little to protect us from future crisis. The CHOICE Act will reduce regulations and encourage economic growth and opportunity for Americans. Read more about the Financial CHOICE Act by clicking here.
