New Report Shows Congresswoman Ann Wagner Still ‘Stinks of Swamp Politics’

Congresswoman Ann Wagner is still siding with Wall Street over working families, as a new report is revealing that Missourians could lose over $330 million if she continues her fight to rip away protections for working families trying to save for retirement.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports: “Missouri investors could lose $337 million annually if President Donald Trump’s administration rolls back the ‘fiduciary rule,’” which Congresswoman Wagner has been a ‘vocal’ champion of doing.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Throwing it back to March, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Editorial Board slammed Congresswoman Wagner for her allegiance to Wall Street, saying she “stinks of swamp politics,” writing:

“Her constituents shouldn’t be fooled into believing Wagner’s actions are motivated by conservative zeal to streamline government. She is among the top recipients of campaign donations from the financial services industry… We wouldn’t be surprised if her big donors wear swampboots whenever they wade into her office.”

Missouri Democratic Party Chair Stephen Webber added, “Congresswoman Ann Wagner should hold a public town hall meeting on Wall Street, that’s where the only people she listens to are anyway.”
