CrossState Connects Credit Unions with Key House Tax Leaders Fitzpatrick & Kelly
Credit union leaders met with Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) at Inspire Federal Credit Union in Newton, PA, and with Congressman Mike Kelly (R-PA) at Erie Federal Credit Union in Erie, PA, on April 25. These meetings provided an important opportunity to discuss local priorities, national issues, and key legislative efforts impacting credit unions.
Rep. Kelly, who chairs the House Ways and Means Tax Subcommittee, and Rep. Fitzpatrick engaged with attendees on a range of topics, including the ongoing work of the House Ways and Means Committee to draft a new budget reconciliation bill, broader tax reform efforts in Congress, and the importance of protecting credit unions’ federal tax-exempt status.

As Congress returns from spring recess, the House Ways and Means Committee is expected to mark up its tax legislation within the next two weeks. Now is the time for credit unions to engage with their members of Congress and activate their members in credit union grassroots.
CrossState remains committed to working with New Jersey’s and Pennsylvania’s Congressional delegations to protect the credit union tax exemption. If your credit union would like assistance with grassroots efforts, please reach out to our Advocacy Team.
