WASHINGTON — Both the Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial Services Committee have officially named their members, including several big names from the past election cycle, among them a few with deep financial industry experience.
Although it’s a divided Congress, a few financial policy priorities are expected to make it through the partisan gridlock that’s gripped Capitol Hill for the last few years. There’s agreement broadly on housing priorities, noted by the committee ranking member Tim Scott, R-S.C., in his recently released policy priorities, which could mean movement is possible on those issues.
And on digital assets, Scott — who has made relatively few statements on financial policy in general, and on crypto in general, during his time in Congress — said in those priorities that Congress should work toward a “bipartisan regulatory framework.”
These are the new lawmakers in both committees that will debate and weigh in on those topics.
