But one more endorsement will be made next month, and the FOTB Advisory Council has identified a "short list" of eleven key races they are looking at. All of these are strong candidates that respect the role banking plays in the success of the American economy:
Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY)
An important member of the House Financial Services Committee, Barr's race is a "toss up" according to Real Clear Politics.
An ally on the Senate Banking Committee who was endorsed by FOTB in 2012, Heller is up for reelection this year in a race classed as a "toss up" according to Real Clear Politics.
PAID for by Friends of Traditional Banking. NOT authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
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.
