Presidential Appointments Matter

All U.S. Presidential Candidates

Wall Street reform has been getting a lot of play in the presidential election. But even the strongest plan for Wall Street reform only works if a president has a team of people willing to stand up to the big banks.

Ultimately, it’s like Elizabeth Warren says: “personnel is policy.”

That's why we’re joining Rootstrikers to ask all candidates to show they’re serious about Wall Street reform, by telling the country who they’d consider for Treasury Secretary, Attorney General, SEC Chair, and other top positions overseeing Wall Street.

Wall Street influence is a major issue in the 2016 election. One of the most consequential things a president can do is appoint people who have a record of challenging Wall Street power.

As Senator Elizabeth Warren says: Personnel is policy. Please give the public some specific examples of people you would consider for key posts that our nation relies on to challenge Wall Street power – including Treasury Secretary, Attorney General, and SEC Chair. And please be transparent about factors you will use when making appointments for these key positions.
