house 06/24/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to ensure that consenting adults who live together can open joint accounts with covered companies, making it easier to manage shared services and bills. This legislation also protects tenants who are survivors of domestic violence by prohibiting fees when they need to leave a lease early for their safety.

Why fix what isn’t broken? This just feels like government overreach into private financial matters.

I get it, couples should have options—but I’m watching closely to see if this just muddies the financial waters.
