Top liberals throw their weight behind Obama’s housing pick
On the first point, two top liberals — Senator Elizabeth Warren and Dem Rep. Keith Ellison, the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — both assured me that Watt is a solid choice for the left. “Mel Watt is the strongest consumer advocate you’re going to get,” Ellison told me. “He has a clear record on fighting predatory lending and protecting home owners. He is a key author of Wall Street reform. He is the kind of person homeowners can trust.”
