WASHINGTON—As NAFCU's Congressional Caucus is set to begin next week, the trade association has added House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), Senate Banking Committee Ranking Member Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Representative Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) to the lineup of speakers.
Fox News' Digital Politics Editor and Political Analyst Chris Stirewalt will deliver the closing keynote.
Stirewalt makes frequent appearances on Fox network programs and authors the daily Fox News Halftime Report. Attendees will also hear from journalist Gretchen Carlson, who is set to deliver Caucus' opening keynote.
Brown is expected to discuss the committee's fall agenda – which includes a hearing Tuesday on housing finance reform featuring Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mark Calabria. Calabria will also provide an update on housing issues during Caucus.
Last week, Waters announced her committee's fall 2019 priorities, indicating that it will continue to "ensure fairness, competition, and transparency” in the financial services industry.
Perlmutter, who is a member of the House Financial Services Committee, earlier this year cosponsored the bipartisan SAFE Banking Act, which would institute a safe harbor for financial institutions serving marijuana business.
Other speakers include NCUA Chairman Rodney Hood and Board Member Todd Harper, CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger, and others.
