The Progressive State Leaders Committee has tapped former CFPB
Director Rohit Chopra to head a new Consumer Protection and
Affordability Working Group. The Group is the 501(c) (4) affiliate
of the Democratic Attorneys General Association.
“As part of its greater effort to tackle unfair and
anticompetitive practices that drive up the cost of living and to
protect consumers by filling essential gaps created by the
enforcement failures of the Trump administration, the Consumer
Protection and Affordability Working Group's main priorities
will be to promote a fair economy, make life more affordable for
Americans, protect people's personal data, and defend
consumers from online abuses,” the committee said, in
announcing the choice. “The working group will develop
strategies and toolkits around potential nationwide initiatives on
health care, technology, and financial services.”
