Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) has expressed his concerns following the Supreme Court of the United States' (SCOTUS) decision in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau et al. v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Ltd., et al.

Luetkemeyer said, “Today’s Supreme Court decision affirming the funding structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is upsetting but underscores the urgent need for Congress to enhance oversight and accountability over the Bureau. Under the leadership of Director Chopra, the CFPB has consistently overstepped its statutory authority, pushing partisan priorities that stray far from its original mission harming businesses and consumers alike.”

The Congressman remains committed to ensuring that agencies like CFPB adhere to legislative intent. He added, “This ruling does not end my commitment to rein in an agency which continuously ignores the legislative intent of laws written by Congress. The negative impact of the CFPB’s continuous overreach is undeniable and unacceptable. I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass legislation to reel in this rogue agency, ensuring it serves the genuine interests of the public.”

Luetkemeyer encourages constituents to reach out with their questions and concerns via his official website or through his offices in Jefferson City (573-635-7232) or Cottleville (636-327-7055).
