What We’re Fighting For

Supporting Competition

Competition promotes economic growth and supports businesses. We advocate for sensible policies to lower burdens on taxpayers.

Protecting Taxpayers

We all benefit when state and local governments get the lowest competitive rate to finance projects and there are not unnecessary burdens on the financial sector, paving the way for critical community investments in projects such as schools and roads.

Championing Capitalism

Lawmakers and regulators should loosen their grasp on taxpayers’ choices and let consumers make their decisions themselves, in accordance with these principles, rather than allowing politically-motivated politicians to make those choices for them.

Preventing Government Overreach

When the government is given leeway to meddle with free market dynamics and micromanage businesses, hardworking families and job creators pay the price. These interventionist policies also set a dangerous precedent and are difficult to reverse.

Promoting Clear Banking Rules

To keep our financial system strong and our economy growing for all Americans, federal lawmakers and regulators should provide clear, consistent laws that give consumers more transparency into the financial system.
