NAFCU preps bold advocacy agenda for 2021

As the 117th Congress gets underway and the Biden administration prepares to transition into the White House, NAFCU has launched its 2021 legislative and regulatory priorities to achieve an operating environment in which credit unions – and their 123 million members – can thrive.

“Credit unions have worked tirelessly to help Americans overcome adversity and hardship amid the coronavirus pandemic,” said NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger. “For both new and returning members of Congress, it is vital they understand the good work not-for-profit credit unions have done and will continue to do to lift American families and communities up during these uncertain times.

“We look forward to working with lawmakers on Capitol Hill as well as the Biden Administration to make sure credit unions have a strong seat at the table, and that they are empowered to help our nation and our economy fully recover. It is our mission to deliver this message to policymakers in 2021 and beyond.”

The 117th Congress was sworn in yesterday, and President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is set for Jan. 20. In a letter sent yesterday, Berger shared these priorities with congressional leadership and members of the House and Senate.
