The American Bankers Association today joined the Texas Bankers Association in releasing an ad asking Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) to continue fighting a relentless surge of new government regulations. ABA also joined the California Bankers Association in a new ad encouraging Rep. Young Kim (R-Calif.) to continue pushing back on overreaching government mandates that threaten the privacy of small businesses and individuals.
“We appreciate the leadership of Representatives Gonzales and Kim in fighting back against regulatory proposals that impose unacceptable costs on American small businesses and families,” said ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols. “Their efforts are essential to ensuring that our economy can continue to prosper going forward.”
“We’re glad to join ABA in releasing a new ad encouraging Congressman Tony Gonzales to keep fighting hard to champion Texas taxpayers and small businesses,” said TBA President and CEO Chris Furlow. “Tony is standing up against unelected Washington bureaucrats whose expanding stacks of regulation hurt job-creating small businesses in South Texas.”
“We’re pleased to join ABA in releasing this new ad applauding Representative Kim and asking her to continue her strong efforts on behalf of California small businesses and communities,” said CBA President and CEO Kevin Gould. “By protecting small businesses and individuals from intrusive government overreach, she is helping to create jobs and to sustain our economy.”
The ads will begin airing in Texas and California as soon as today. Click here to see the ads.
