What We’re Fighting For

We’re advocating for policies that empower businesses to make decisions in the best interests of their customers and shareholders without fear of government micromanagement or retribution.

Supporting Competition

Competition in the financial and pension markets and the broader economy promotes growth and saves consumers and taxpayers money while supporting businesses. Meanwhile, limiting competition increases costs and dampens pro-business environments critical to a thriving economy. We need sensible laws and regulations, in the financial sector and other industries, that support competition and lower the burden on taxpayers, especially during difficult economic times when millions of Americans are already contending with the impacts of high inflation.

Protecting Taxpayers

Lawmakers and regulators are entrusted to act in the best interest of those they represent – taxpayers. Anti-competitive policies, including in the municipal bond market, can increase the cost to finance critical infrastructure and public projects key to supporting economic growth, costing taxpayers and wasting their hard-earned money on unnecessary and politically-motivated policies and regulations. 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

Free market and limited government principles promote economic freedom and growth and increase consumer choice. 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

Clarity and precision in banking rules ultimately protect consumers, communities, and the entire financial system. Unclear and inconsistent federal regulations have created confusion and left financial institutions to navigate a patchwork of conflicting state-level laws and regulatory ambiguity at the federal level.
