Washington, DC (November 1, 2017) – Following the announcement for House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling that he will not seek reelection in 2018, Credit Union National Association (CUNA) president/CEO Jim Nussle released a statement:

“CUNA thanks Chairman Hensarling for his work in Congress, particularly for his leadership on the House Financial Services Committee where we had many fruitful discussions about ways to improve the operating environment for credit unions.
