Press Releases

The Federal Reserve has immense power over our economy and the American people. Much to my dismay they have taken many actions that sacrifice long-term prosperity for short-term gains. 

On July 22, 2015, I had the opportunity to discuss much needed Federal Reserve reform during a House Financial Services Committee hearing. Below are videos of my opening statement and questioning that day.

I believe we need to Audit the Fed and make it a much more transparent institution, and I am proud to be a cosponsor on the Audit the Fed legislation.

On July 21, 2015, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) spoke on the House Floor to speak in support of the House Agriculture and Energy & Commerce Committees' action on the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015.

Mr. Speaker,

This week was the 5^th Anniversary of Dodd-Frank, the Wall Street reform act that was promoted as a champion of consumer protections, the end of Washington bailouts, and the nation’s anecdote to financial crises. Unfortunately, the law has fallen short of expectations and is doing more harm than good.

On the floor of the House of Representatives I gave two speeches about Dodd-Frank. One about how the law has harmed a Wright County Minnesota bank and consumers, and another about how Congress can amend the law to fix its problems.
