A major topic of discussion was around scams and fraud and working together on new legislation to protect consumers. I’m glad to have partners like this and know that the ideas from this conversation will become policy solutions that make life better for all of us.
Work with credit unions and local leaders on new legislation to protect consumers from scams and fraud and develop affordability policy solutions for Delaware and the nation.

Assessments
Blunt Rochester took same-term actions that match major parts of the promise: she met with Delaware credit unions and local leaders, discussed affordability and fraud issues, and cosponsored anti-scam consumer protection legislation such as the TRAPS Act. She also advanced affordability-related policy work through Senate Banking activity and housing legislation. However, the scam/fraud legislation identified in the record had not been enacted and the full promised consumer-protection outcome was not delivered, so this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
