STATEMENT OF SENATOR TIM JOHNSON ON THE RETIREMENT OF CONGRESSMAN BARNEY FRANK

WASHINGTON – Today, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson (D-SD) released the following statement on Congressman Barney Frank’s announcement that he will not seek reelection.

 

“The people of the Fourth Congressional district of Massachusetts and our entire nation owe Barney Frank a debt of gratitude for his decades of public service.  With Barney’s retirement the House of Representatives will lose one of its most dedicated and effective members, but I have no doubt that he will continue to be a tireless advocate for the historic reforms he helped pass as an author of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.”
