Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY), and one of our best advocates on the House Financial Services Committee , will be holding an exclusive Zoom visit with Friends of Traditional Banking's leadership teams in August. Rep. Barr was the sponsor of the Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act and in 2018 became the first House member endorsed by FOTB. As a result, hundreds of bankers around the country poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into his close race and took pride in his thrilling 51% victory!

Friends of Traditional Banking is a non-partisan grassroots effort organized by bankers in 2012 to improve the political and regulatory environment for the traditional banking industry in the U.S. FOTB is the inverse of a PAC--instead of spreading a little bit of money to a lot of campaigns, they focus a lot of money on a couple of key campaigns.
