Elizabeth Warren has a new radio ad in the Massachusetts Senate race, seeking to leverage the recent scandal at JPMorgan Chase toward the issue of financial reform. Warren has already called for CEO Jamie Dimon to resign from the New York Federal Reserve, and is seizing on the bank’s trading loss to return to her comfort zone of financial reform in the new campaign spot.
“Did you see the headline? One of America’s biggest banks lost $2 billion in just a few weeks,” Warren says. “Even now, Wall Street banks that got bailed out are still at it, gambling recklessly.”
“This is Elizabeth Warren. I stood up to big banks. I took on their army of lobbyists and help win the fight for a consumer protection agency. But there’s still more to do. Wall Street isn’t going to change its ways until Washington gets serious about strong oversight and real accountability – no special deals. We need a tough cop on the beat to make sure that nobody steals your purse on Main Street — or your pension on Wall Street.
The problem is: in Washington, money talks — and Wall Street has plenty of money to spread around. So Wall Street gets all the special breaks, while working families get hammered. That’s what I want to change. I’m Elizabeth Warren, candidate for U.S. Senate, and I approve this message.”
