The Senate could vote as soon as tomorrow on President Biden's nomination for the top job overseeing banks and climate policy at the Federal Reserve -- Sarah Bloom Raskin. This. Is. A. Big. Deal.
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."
SEN. 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 SEN. 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. Send an immediate-delivery letter to Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey to tell them you support confirming Sarah Bloom Raskin for this top position at the Fed -- click here.

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 and confirmed for key positions including Deb Haaland as Interior Secretary and Lina Khan as Chair of the Federal Trade Commission.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
