In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“My promise to you remains the same: I will always have your back. It is an honor to serve as your Congressman, and I would be grateful for the opportunity to earn your vote because I’m not done fighting.”
Richard Neal for Congress · HomepageSep 24, 2026 · Self-published · Richard E. Neal for Congress campaign site · source
“Our retirement savings system is built on incentives to help workers achieve financial security after a lifetime of work—not on loopholes for the wealthiest to exploit. Allowing a handful of individuals to accumulate staggering fortunes while still receiving taxpayer subsidies was never what Congress intended. At a time when millions of workers still struggle to save enough for retirement, there is no justification for taxpayer-subsidized multi-million-dollar accounts. Closing these loopholes is a matter of basic tax fairness, and Congress must restore this savings vehicle to its intended purpose.”
Neal, Wyden Introduce Bill to Crack Down on Mega Retirement AccountsJul 22, 2026 · Official · U.S. House press release [Official] · source
“Millions of American workers still lack the benefit of employer-sponsored retirement plans to get a fair shot at a retirement. As Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, I wrote and guided SECURE 2.0 into law, making saving easier, and now, that legacy is driving today’s executive order. Because of our Saver’s Match, low- and moderate-income Americans will have the opportunity to receive up to $1,000 in matching contributions from the federal government.”
