Mulvaney joins NAFCU member call-in today

House Financial Services Committee member Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., today will provide credit unions his perspective on key issues during NAFCU's member-only call-in, "2Q Advocacy Update."

Today's call (login required) will begin at 4 p.m. Eastern. The member call-in is provided free as a benefit of membership in NAFCU, but registration is required.

Mulvaney last year introduced the NAFCU-backed "National Credit Union Administration Budget Transparency Act" (H.R. 2287/S. 924), a bill to require NCUA to hold yearly budget hearings and release its draft budgets for comment. The House bill was marked up and reported favorably by the panel last December. In other action supported by NAFCU, Mulvaney has called for a Government Accountability Office study of nearly every aspect of NCUA's budgeting and expenditure practices.

Mulvaney is vice chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade. He also serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger is encouraging all association members to join today's call-in. "Vice Chairman Mulvaney is a staunch ally of credit unions, leading efforts in the House to ensure credit unions know just how the dollars they provide to fund NCUA's budget are being used," Berger said. "We thank him for his support of the credit union industry and look forward to the insight he will provide during today's call."

In addition to Mulvaney, call-in attendees will also hear from NAFCU's Berger, Executive Vice President of Government Affairs and General Counsel Carrie Hunt, Vice President of Legislative Affairs Brad Thaler, Director of Regulatory Affairs Alexander Monterrubio, Director of Regulatory Compliance Brandy Bruyere, Director of Political Affairs Dan O'Brien and Chief Economist and Director of Research Curt Long.
