Holding Gary Gensler Accountable

This week, the House Financial Services Committee convened a hearing to conduct oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with Chairman Gary Gensler.

Chair Gensler continues to demonstrate a blatant disregard for Congress in pursuit of a radical agenda that threatens the integrity of our financial markets, the protection of investors, and our economic competitiveness. I have warned Chair Gensler that our patience is wearing thin. I will not hesitate to issue a subpoena if he continues stonewalling this committee's oversight work. 

Prior to the hearing, Republicans on the committee joined together to blast Chair Gensler for bypassing public input and economic analysis before enacting rules with far-reaching and longstanding impact. Click here to read our letter.

The House Financial Services Committee recently advanced legislation to protect our farmlands from adversaries, like China. The Tenth District is an important agricultural products producer and I will continue the fight to ensure we are safeguarding this vital resource.

House Republicans advance legislation to block central bank digital currency

The Washington Examiner

A government issued and controlled Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) poses a serious threat to the American people. A Chinese Communist Party-style CBDC would threaten the privacy and civil liberties of my constituents. I am proud of the legislation advanced by the House Financial Services Committee to ensure the Fed does not sidestep Congress to issue a CBDC.
