New ‘Which Side Are They On’ Report on How Every Member of Congress Voted on Financial Regulation, Wall Street Accountability, and Families Economic Security
Washington, D.C. —A new report released by Americans for Financial Reform entitled, “Which Side Are They On? How Members of the 119th Congress Voted on Wall Street and Financial Justice for Families,” lays out how lawmakers voted on a selection of pivotal votes related to financial regulation and Wall Street accountability since January 2025. The covered bills erode consumer financial protections, empower Wall Street risk-taking and extraction, enable cryptocurrency corruption, and fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy by slashing important safety net programs.
“Families across the country are feeling the squeeze from rising prices and shrinking household budgets and elected officials are eager to talk about the affordability crisis,” said Dustin Duong, senior research associate at Americans for Financial Reform. “This voting record shows how members of Congress actually voted when faced with a choice between policy pushed by Wall Street, big banks, big tech, and billionaires, or economic security for everyday people.”
During the first year of the session, Congress passed a set of measures rolling back consumer and investor protections and financial stability guardrails. During the second session, the Senate rejected a set of measures to restore consumer financial protections like limits on late fees. The report includes searchable databases of the votes on the House and Senate floors.
