Republican congressman calls to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) wants to see change in Washington, D.C., that embraces conservative fiscal policy.

In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Self encouraged the inclusion of a bill that would strip the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of its funding. It’s a step the Texas congressman believes would help restore sound financial policies within the government. Self asked Johnson to include the Defund the CFPB Act in the budget reconciliation bill.
