Today, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, announced Congressman Sean Casten (D-IL), as the Vice Ranking Member on the Committee.

“I am pleased to announce that Congressman Sean Casten will serve as Vice Ranking Member on the House Financial Services Committee for the 119^th Congress. For many years, Committee Democrats have benefited greatly from Congressman Casten’s extensive expertise and unwavering commitment to establishing strong guardrails for our economy and protecting our nation’s consumers,” said Congresswoman Waters. “Not only that, Congressman Casten has led the way in addressing the existential threat climate change poses to America’s financial ecosystem. As Trump and his unelected co-President, Elon Musk continue their reckless and illegal efforts to dismantle our nation’s pro-consumer agencies and destabilize the economy to enrich their billionaire friends, Congressman Casten will be a key player in the fight to combat these attacks.”

“The House Financial Services Committee is at the center of the fight for investor protection, consumer advocacy, affordable housing, and combating climate-related financial risk,” said Congressman Casten. “I’m honored to be named Vice Ranking Member of this committee and look forward to working with Ranking Member Waters and our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find bipartisan solutions to address our nation’s most pressing needs.”
