Remarks Of CFTC Commissioner Dawn D. Stump Before The Women In Housing & Finance, Inc., Once Upon A Time

Date 09/07/2020

Before beginning my remarks I would like to note that the views I express today are my own and not necessarily those of the Commission I am proud to serve upon, nor my fellow Commissioners.

To state the obvious, the past few months have challenged my quest for predictability.  So I am abandoning this pursuit and acknowledging that the way of a regulator is to consider things that are uncomfortable and respond accordingly.  It’s a service rendered so that others may have greater certainty – a responsibility I am proud to hold, but if I have learned anything since signing on to be a Commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), it is that you might as well be comfortable with the uncomfortable.  From the onset, my confirmation process was unpredictable (and long), then soon after being confirmed there was the government shutdown that again delayed the agenda I had hoped to pursue on the job, and now an unprecedented health pandemic that has changed the way we all operate.
