“It was an honor to have Congressman Hill join me for roundtable discussions with the finance and banking communities in Tyler and Longview,” said Congressman Moran. “I appreciate those who joined us to talk about important issues that affect financial security of all Americans. It was a valuable opportunity to answer questions and to receive feedback from East Texans on what we can do in Washington, D.C. to ensure banking and investment community is freed up from burdensome regulation to do what they need to in order to make the American economy thrive.”

“I was so pleased to join my friend and colleague Rep. Moran today in visiting with many Texas bankers and touring the impressive, standalone Financial Crimes Intelligence Center in Tyler,” said Congressman Hill. “As a former banker in both Texas and my neighboring home state of Arkansas, I understand firsthand the importance of supporting bankers in our region as they are key players in helping drive our economy and also how we can best combat financial crimes to protect consumers and go after crooks. Rep. Moran has been a fantastic addition to Congress as he proudly represents East Texas and pushes forward their values and priorities in Washington.”
