Congressional Savings and Ownership Caucus
A Forum to Discuss and Assess Policies to Broaden Asset Ownership
To build a policymaker consensus around the goal of broadening asset ownership, New America’s Asset Building Program proposed and facilitated the establishment of a bi-partisan, bi-cameral Congressional Savings and Ownership Caucus in February 2005.
This forum brings together key Members of Congress, their staffs, and leading outside experts to discuss -- in a non-partisan, forward-looking manner -- recent research findings, policy options, and potential legislative opportunities to advance the goal of expanding savings and asset ownership in America.
The Congressional Savings and Ownership Caucus is Co-Chaired by Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND), Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN), Rep. Phil English (R-PA), Rep. Tom Petri (R-WI) and Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-ND).
