Financial Services is one of just four exclusive committees in the House. It oversees big banks, lending, & the financial sector.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to sit on this committee as a freshman, and look forward to working under the leadership of @RepMaxineWaters! https://t.co/kIq5iDcrTV

Trade-off for voting for Pelosi. She gets to be Speaker, America has to deal with socialists on the Committee.
Via Fortune:
Wall Street had better brace itself, because the House Financial Services Committee is about to be loaded with some big names from the left wing of the Democratic Party.
Per Bloomberg, those names include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Katie Porter (Calif.) and Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii).
“AOC” confirmed the news of her appointment on Twitter.
