NAFCU advocacy well underway with new Congress
As the industry's Washington Watchdog, NAFCU was on Capitol Hill last week for the opening of the 116th Congress. On Thursday alone, NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger, other senior staff and association members talked with several dozen lawmakers and influencers.
NAFCU on Wednesday released its 2019 advocacy priorities, which will guide its efforts to obtain a regulatory environment in which growth is the priority. In addition to growth, other priorities include maintaining a strong NCUA, promoting transparency, attaining regulatory relief, preserving the credit union tax exemption and establishing a fair and innovative market.
Ahead of the new Congress, Berger sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., outlining credit unions' top concerns and tenets for the year.
"We hope that you will work with us to address these top concerns for credit unions in the 116th Congress," Berger wrote to the congressional leaders.
While on Capitol Hill Thursday, Berger, Executive Vice President of Government Affairs and General Counsel Carrie Hunt, Vice President of Legislative Affairs Brad Thaler and other NAFCU representatives welcomed the new and returning legislators as they were sworn in. They also touted the association's priorities agenda.

NAFCU's award-winning advocacy team maintains a constant presence on Capitol Hill and works in a bipartisan fashion to ensure credit unions' and their members' best interests are represented and understood by all in Washington.
Now that the 116th Congress has begun, NAFCU will continue to regularly meet with administration officials, lawmakers and regulators to build on the progress made in recent years to create a regulatory environment in which credit unions can thrive.
