Washington, DC – Today, in reaction to the Senate’s confirmation of Janet Yellen as Chair of the Federal Reserve, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) President and CEO John Taylor made the following statement:
“We applaud the confirmation of Janet Yellen as Chair of the Federal Reserve. Not only has she shown a strong commitment to a stable and free market, she has worked to ensure our system of capitalism is democratic and fair. Under her leadership, working-class Americans climbing their way up the economic ladder will have greater access to credit and financial services. As she will be the first woman to chair the Fed, we would also like to acknowledge and celebrate the historic occasion of her confirmation.”
