I am honored to serve as the co-chair of the Congressional Financial and Economic Literacy Caucus along with my colleague Congressman Ruben Hinojosa (D-TX-15). I truly believe this issue is so important because many of our country's economic problems can be addressed by educating Americans of all ages on financial literacy.

The month of April is National Financial Literacy Month and serves as an outstanding opportunity to review our own finances, learn something new on this issue, or teach our children about fiscal responsibility. 

If you would like to learn more about financial issues, there a few websites you can check out:

• The U.S. Treasury Department’s resource center can be found by clicking HERE.   
• The FDIC Money Smart website can be found HERE.

If you would like to teach your kids about fiscal responsibility check out: 

• The Jump$tart website can be found HERE.

This April, I hope you will consider taking steps to learn something new about finances. Perhaps you could set up a family budget, or just talk to your kids about financial responsibility.  Even small steps can make a difference in your financial future.  If you have any questions about this, or any other federal issue, please feel free to contact my office at (202) 225-2015.
