President Selects Professor Elizabeth Warren as Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

U.S. PIRG: “Elizabeth Warren is the right choice to build the consumer protection machine she invented.”

Statement of U.S. PIRG Consumer Program Director, Ed Mierzwinski

“Building the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a big job that must be done right. When they turn on the lights, we don’t want the power to short out. Who better than Professor Elizabeth Warren, its inventor and fiercest defender, to be its builder? U.S. PIRG has worked with Professor Warren for years and commends President Obama for her selection. She is the right choice to build the consumer protection machine she invented.”
