Statement of Elizabeth Gore, EDF Senior Vice President for Political Affairs
“President Biden’s first veto protects the hard-earned savings of American workers by allowing retirement fund managers the freedom to make fully informed investment decisions.

We greatly appreciate the president for supporting these carefully crafted safeguards of our money.”
