To: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-12)
No Committee Seats for Wall Street
Tell Speaker Pelosi: Don’t put any members of the corporate-backed “Problem Solvers Caucus” on key House Committees like Financial Services and Ways and Means. The self-described “Problem Solvers Caucus” is a group of lawmakers that consistently vote with their big-money donors.
Why is this important?
Key House Committees — Financial Services, Ways and Means, Appropriations, Energy and Commerce, and Intelligence — are the public's watchdogs, not a fundraising opportunity. If the Democratic Party is going to be the party of working families not big banks, there's no room for Wall Street-backed Democrats masquerading as "Problem Solvers" on the frontlines of fights like those for affordable housing, racial justice, and jobs. Ask Speaker Pelosi not to appoint any members of the "Problem Solvers" Caucus to key House Committees
