Congressional Savings and Ownership Caucus
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.
In the 110th Congress the Congressional Savings and Ownership Caucus was 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). The Caucus is currently preparing to be re-launched for the 111th Congress.
