Consumer Protection
As a fierce consumer rights advocate, Sherman has long fought to protect consumers from all forms of abuse, fraud, and predatory practices.
Congressman Sherman was among the leaders behind the formation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which protects consumers from financial institutions issuing credit cards and offering costly overdraft protection.
From 2019-2023, Sherman served as Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Investor Protection, Entrepreneurship and Capital Markets where he worked to institute and maintain consumer safeguards.
