Letter: Daines let Montana down

Our Senators voted recently on whether active duty service members and their spouses deserve to have laws enforced that defend them from illegally high cost loans.

They voted on whether senior citizens deserve a protector who will clamp down on scams.

They voted on whether students deserve protection from abuses by debt collectors.

They voted on whether First Nations people deserve to be protected from discrimination that leaves them without credit or with higher interest rates.

They voted on whether Montanans deserve a strong law enforcement force in Washington, or whether payday lenders and other financial powerhouses can count the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as an ally.

Senator Tester voted, once again, to oppose Kathy Kraninger to lead the CFPB. He knew that she was unqualified, ideological, and will leave consumers like you and me without protection.

Senator Daines chose to let Montanans down.
