How will the budget deficit, the fiscal crisis in Europe, and the grassroots movements affect you and your organization? Because of the level of involvement and complication surrounding our nation’s fiscal policy and its potential changes, audiences are turning in large numbers to politicians who have real monetary and budgetary experience for advice, clarification, and insight. Senators John Sununu (R-NH) and Judd Gregg (R-NH) can explain the ins and outs of our nation’s economic mess and the political future of our nation’s fiscal policy in discussions tailored to the financial proficiency of their audiences.
Senator John Sununu has dealt with large-scale financial issues in both the private and public sectors, working as the CFO for a technology company before running for office. He draws from this engineering and business background to speak passionately and in great detail about the economic landscape and financial and regulatory reforms, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of proposed legislation with a non-partisan, straightforward style.
In the House, Sununu rose quickly to earn a seat on the Appropriations Committee and was appointed vice chairman of the Budget Committee. During his term in the Senate, he was recognized as an authority on the federal budget process, and financial services regulation. He wrote comprehensive legislation to reform financial giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and drafted a bill establishing federal oversight for national insurance firms. Most recently, Senator Sununu has served as a member of the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP funds. He currently chairs a Financial Governance Working Group for the World Economic Forum.
Senator Judd Gregg is a national leader on fiscal policy, a well known budget expert, and a respected voice on health care and economic and financial regulatory issues. His expertise on banking issues and derivatives reform positioned him as a pivotal voice in the debate on regulatory reform, and, as a member of the Senate Banking Committee, he served as one of the principal negotiators working to modernize our financial regulatory system.
Senator Greg is a leading voice for fiscal discipline. He was the Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee and was a chief negotiator of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. He also served as the lead sponsor of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Working across the aisle, Senator Gregg addressed our looming entitlement crisis and worked to revamp our complex and inequitable tax system. In 2010, Gregg also was appointed to President Obama’s national commission on fiscal responsibility. This bipartisan commission, which was modeled after legislation introduced by Senator Gregg and Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), was responsible for developing recommendations to help balance the budget and achieve fiscal sustainability over the long term.
