Lead Financial Services oversight focused on consumer costs and risks

Casten says that, if chosen to chair the House Financial Services Committee, he would pursue forceful oversight and an economic agenda centered on affordability, fairness and opportunity. He identifies lowering housing and insurance costs, protecting consumers from fraud and scams, addressing risks from crypto and prediction markets, and protecting the financial system from a future crisis as priorities. He also says the committee should investigate President Trump’s crypto-related corruption and financial conflicts of interest, and efforts to stop investigations and prosecutions involving businesses owned by his allies.

Context: These are priorities Casten stated while seeking the committee chair; the passage does not specify particular legislation or oversight steps.

In their own words

We need to lower housing and insurance costs, protect consumers from fraud, scams, and the risks posed by crypto and prediction markets
