Protecting Consumers

From prices at the pump to predatory lending practices to identity theft to threats in our food and drug supply, consumers face unprecedented challenges in the marketplace every day. Consumers must be assured that pharmaceutical, food and other products are safe. We should do everything we can to protect consumers against fraud, whether at auto dealerships, through identity theft or by unscrupulous mortgage lenders. It is the role of the government to provide proper and fair regulation to protect consumers. I will be a staunch advocate for programs and funding to make sure the interests and safety of consumers come before special interests and corporate profits.
