served as a U.S. Congressman, representing the fourth district of Massachusetts, from 1981 to 2012 and occupied the chairman’s seat of the House Financial Services Committee from 2007 to 2011. He was instrumental in crafting some of the most sweeping financial reform laws
in history, including the Federal Housing Reform Act, the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act, and the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. After 16 terms in Congress, he built his legacy as a champion of civil rights and financial reform, working tirelessly to reduce the federal deficit, build and preserve affordable rental housing for low-income Americans, and shift policymakers’ focus to our local communities.
