Congressional Overview
Members of Congress will have much on their minds during our visits at the Governmental Affairs Conference. The deadlines to pass government spending bills are March 1 and March 8. If Congress fails to pass budget bills by March 1, there may be a partial government shutdown when we knock on doors on Capitol Hill.

Tuesday, March 5, is “Super Tuesday.” California, along with 16 other states and territories, will be voting in federal primary elections. Super Tuesday stands out as a pivotal event in the presidential nominating process, demanding significant resources from candidates and political parties. This expansive election day spans from Maine to California, engaging diverse segments of the American population. How candidates perform on Super Tuesday will all but seal the deal on presidential nominations.

Thursday, March 7 (the day after Capitol Hill visits), President Joe Biden will be delivering the State of the Union address.

To put it lightly, members of Congress have a lot to consider: 1) potential government shutdown; 2) primary elections; and 3) the State of the Union address. For this reason, we must truly bring our “A game” and share our compelling narratives on the credit union movement.

Congressional Delegations
As a reminder, our delegations have 52 U.S. House of Representatives seats from California and four from Nevada, all of which have some role linked to our presence in the communities they represent. Each state has two senators. California has our newest senator, Laphonza Butler, who is temporarily serving in the U.S. Senate until the election this November. She currently sits on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Development Committee.

In Nevada, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) also serves on the Senate Banking Committee. In addition, she serves as a deputy for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and continues to support many of our legislative efforts.

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) is up for re-election. When we recently met with Senator Rosen in August, she shared her strong commitment to cybersecurity issues. She also expressed interest in spearheading legislation to support credit unions. This would be a good conversation to continue during our meeting with her.

Some of our credit union friends are leaving Congress. Reps. Grace Napolitano (D-CA) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) will retire in 2024. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) retired earlier this year. Three members of Congress are vacating their seats in the House and campaigning for the open seat in the Senate. These members are Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Barabara Lee (D-CA), and Katie Porter (D-CA). All members of Congress from Nevada are seeking to keep their seats in the House and Senate.
