This week: Congress in session; America’s Credit Unions monitors several primaries

by America's Credit Unions

This week, the House and Senate are back in session and America’s Credit Unions is monitoring several primaries happening across six states tomorrow. America’s Credit Unions PAC is supporting 16 candidates in Washington, D.C., Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota.

Of note, in New Jersey’s Democratic Senate primary, Rep. Andy Kim, D-N.J., seeks to replace Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who faces corruption charges and is no longer running as a Democrat. Stay tuned to the daily newsletter and the America’s Credit Unions’ Credit Union Elections Hub for election results updates from the primaries through the general election.

In addition, credit unions are encouraged to register and attend the NCUA’s webinar on minority depository institutions (MDIs), happening Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern. The webinar is in recognition of MDI Awareness Month and will feature presentations from the NCUA’s Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion, Consumer Financial Protection, and Financial Technology and Access.
