Issue Position: Protecting Colorado Consumers

Issue Position

Last year, I led the fight in the House against credit card companies that were unfairly jacking up interest rates and changing the terms on consumer credit card accounts before federal credit card reform legislation could go into effect.

I led an effort of 42 House Members in sending a letter to the CEOs of Bank of America and Citigroup, pushing them to reverse their decision to slap new credit card fees on customers in good standing. I also introduced an amendment to incentivize them to change their policy.

From the time the Credit CARD Act passed until it took effect, my amendment protected thousands of customers from unfair fees and penalties.

I'm honored to be in Congress fighting to protect the people of Colorado and my District and I'm proud to serve them.
