Reflections on panel's success, achievements
Committees are essential to the legislative process. I am privileged to serve on committees that encourage pro-growth economic policies and prioritize constitutional principles. Beginning in 2017, I had the honor to begin serving as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, a post that I will continue to hold in the 116th Congress. In the 115th Congress, we ushered dozens of bills through the committee and into law, exercised important oversight of the financial sector, and confirmed qualified nominees for financial regulatory agencies.
The political descent of the Republican Party
As we head into the presidential elections, a useful and insightful book to read about presidential character is a “Team of Rivals” by well-respected historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin. This acclaimed book is a detailed study about Abraham Lincoln and his cabinet. In her introduction, Lincoln had the admirable qualities of “···kindness, sensitivity, compassion, honesty and empathy···.” Besides being gifted with great humor, he was lenient, gracious and magnanimous. He would listen to his critics, and neither was vindictive, revengeful nor carried grudges. He assumed responsibility for the failures of his subordinates and easily shared credit with them. He was self-confident, but he learned from his mistakes. Often he wrote apologies to those he felt he had slighted. When the Civil War ended, he was not triumphal or boastful. And, he truly felt the pain and agony for the fallen soldiers on both sides of the War.

Distressed properties present challenges
Persistent unemployment likely means that we will continue to see a certain amount of distressed properties that many view as opportunities. Of course, these properties usually are priced to move, but when they are priced below what is owed there are risks for buyers and sellers alike.
