Press Releases

Washington, D.C. -- This morning Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) was officially appointed to the House Financial Services Committee. He will also serve on the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit and the Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade.

Last week, the House Republican Steering Committee voted for Emmer to join the committee to fill the vacancy left by Rep. Dold after his move to Ways and Means. Emmer submitted waiver requests in hopes of continuing to serve on both of his former committees—Agriculture and Foreign Affairs.

Washington, D.C. -- Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) participated in a markup today for the House Committee on Agriculture’s reauthorization of the Commodity Futures Trade Commission (CFTC). Emmer offered one of the seven amendments to the bill—his first as a Member of Congress.

Emmer’s amendment modifies the Commodity Exchange Act by clarifying that the clearing relief exemption for small banks and savings associations also extends to the holding companies of those associations.

Mr. Speaker,

I rise today in honor of National Police Week, when we remember the sacrifice of our nation’s law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
