Congressman Carson Congratulates Mel Watt on Being Confirmed as Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency

Washington, DC -- "I would like to congratulate my friend, Congressman Mel Watt, on being confirmed today as Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The House of Representatives will lose a champion for the middle class but our nation gains an experienced and dedicated public servant to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency at a very important time."

"Congressman Watt has fought for over twenty years in the U.S. House on the side of small business and consumer protections. I am sure he will continue to advocate for policies that protect consumers and focus on lender accountability just as he did on the House Financial Services Committee. As a Yale educated attorney with over two decades of experience as a legislator and policy maker, I am certain he will lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency with great distinction."
