Advocacy in Action in Illinois!
On Monday, Illinois Mortgage Bankers Association members Barbara Zajieck, James Harris, Hipolito Garcia, Jr., Faith Henderson, and Tim Galligan met with the top Vice Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL), as part of MBA’s Advocacy in August campaign.
During an engaging and productive conversation, members shared how federal policy decisions affect borrowers, mortgage closings, housing inventory, veterans, and real estate finance professionals throughout the state. The discussion covered the potential effects of a government shutdown, VA Home Loan funding fees, the capital gains tax, and loan-level price adjustments.
Thank you, Congressman Casten, for listening to our members’ firsthand experiences and giving the group the opportunity to discuss each of these important issues.
