It’s been a big few weeks at the Raskin home in Maryland. First,
Congressman Jamie Raskin's new book on the Jan 6 insurrection hit store
shelves. (Watch our Zoom chat with him last night [ [link removed] ]here and order his
book [ [link removed] ]here.)
Now, President Biden just nominated Sarah Bloom Raskin for the top job
overseeing banks and climate policy at the Federal Reserve. How big a deal
is this?
Politico: "Sarah Bloom Raskin would mean a tougher stance toward Wall
Street and a much bigger focus on climate change at the Fed."
Axios: "Biden is giving progressive senators like Elizabeth Warren
(D-Mass.) a policy and personnel win on a position about which they care
deeply."
Elizabeth Warren: "Sarah Bloom Raskin is a tough and thoughtful financial
regulator with decades of experience at the state and federal level. In
the important role of Vice Chair for Supervision, she brings a commitment
to protect the American people that has been sorely missing from the Fed
Board for years."
Climate leader Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI): "This is good news.
Sarah Bloom Raskin really gets it on climate."
The Senate confirmed Sarah twice to other powerful government jobs.

Months ago, our sister org the Progressive Change Institute recommended
Sarah as one of our top staffing choices to the Biden administration. Many
others we recommended have also been appointed to key positions including
Deb Haaland as Interior Secretary and Lina Khan is Chair of the Federal
Trade Commission.
