Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Warren was an early supporter for the establishment of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The Bureau was founded by the Wall Street Dodd-Frank Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law by President Obama in July 2010. In September 2010, President Obama named Warren Assistant to the President and Special Adviser to the Secretary of Finance on Consumers Bureau of Financial Protection to establish a new agency. While liberal groups and consumer advocacy groups have pushed Obama to officially nominate Warren as agency director, Warren is strongly opposed by financial institutions and by Congressmen from Republicans who believe Warren will be an overzealous regulator. Reportedly confident that Warren could not win the Senate's confirmation as the first director of the bureau, Obama turned to former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray and in January 2012, on the objections of Republican senators, pointed Cordray to the post in the recess appointment.
Political affiliation
Warren has voted Republican for years, saying, "I am a Republican because I think they are the ones who support the best markets". According to Warren, he started electing Democrats in 1995 because he no longer believed that was true, but he stated that he had chosen both sides because he believed that no party could dominate.
AS. Senate
2012 selection
On September 14, 2011, Warren declared his intention to run for a Democratic nomination for the 2012 election in Massachusetts for the US Senate. The seat has been won by Republican Scott Brown in a 2010 special election after the death of Ted Kennedy. A week later, Warren's video speaks on Andover becoming viral video on the Internet. In it, Warren countered the accusation that asking rich people to pay more taxes is a "class war," indicating that no one gets rich in the US regardless of the infrastructure paid by society, stating:
No one in this country is getting rich. Nothing... You move your goods to the market on the roads we pay; You hire workers, the rest pay to educate; You are safe in your factory because of the police forces and firemen we pay. You do not have to worry that bands of robbers will come and take everything in your factory, and hire someone to protect themselves from this, because of the work we do. Now look, you build a factory and turn into something great, or a good idea. God bless. Save that big hunk. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take the parcel and pay the down payment for the next child who came.
President Barack Obama then echoed his sentiments in the election campaign speech in 2012.
In April 2012, The Boston Globe sparked a campaign controversy by reporting that from 1986 to 1995 Warren has enrolled itself as a racial minority at the Harvard Law School Law School (AALS) Directory of Law Schools Law School has identified Warren as a "color woman" in response to criticism about the lack of diversity of faculty.
Scott Brown, his Republican opponent in the Senate race, accused Warren of fabricating a Native American legacy for profit in the labor market. Former colleagues and supervisors at the university where he worked stated that Warren's ancestors had no role in his recruitment. Warren declared that he had listed himself as a minority to meet people who had a similar heritage, and did not realize that Harvard had listed him as a colored woman. His brothers defended him, stating that they "grew up listening to our mother and grandmother and other relatives talking about our family's Cherokee and the Delaware heritage". In his autobiography of 2014, Warren declared that he did not gain career benefits from the legacy he expressed, and described the accusations as untrue and painful. The genealogical researcher could not find any evidence that Warren's ancestors were or were not Native Americans. The Oklahoma Historical Society says that finding a definite answer about a Native American heritage can be difficult due to mixed marriages and intentional deletion of registration.
Warren ran without a fight for the Democratic nomination and won on June 2, 2012, at the country's Democratic convention with a record 95.77% of the votes of the delegation. He experienced significant opposition from business interests. In August the political director for the US Chamber of Commerce claimed that "no other candidate in 2012 poses a greater threat to free enterprise than Professor Warren". He still collects $ 39 million for his campaign, most of the Senate candidates in 2012, and shows, according to The New York Times, "that it is possible to fight the big banks without Wall Street money. win ".
Warren received a prime-time speech slot at the 2012 Democratic National Convention on 5 September 2012. He positioned himself as a beleaguered middle-class champion who "had been peeled, blackmailed and hammered." According to Warren, "People feel that the system is designed against them, and here's the painful part: They're right, the system is rigged." Warren said the Wall Street CEOs "are destroying our economy and destroying millions of jobs" and that they "are still trying around the congress, need not be shy, demanding help, and acting like we should thank them".
Tenure
On 6 November 2012, Warren defeated Scott Brown's crew with a total of 53.7% of the vote. She was the first woman ever elected to the US Senate from Massachusetts, as part of the US Senate which has 20 female senators in the office, the largest delegation of female American women in history, after the November 2012 election. In December 2012, Warren won a seat on the Banking Committee The Senate, a committee that oversees the implementation of Dodd-Frank and other regulations of the banking industry. Warren was sworn by Vice President Joe Biden on January 3, 2013.
At Warren's first Banking Committee hearing in February 2013, he pressured several banking regulators to respond when they last took Wall Street bankers to court and stated, "I am very worried that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for a trial'." Warren's question videos became popular on the Internet, collecting over a million views in a matter of days. At the Banking Committee hearing in March, Warren asked Treasury officials why criminal charges were not filed against HSBC for money laundering. With her constantly avoided question, Warren compared the money laundering with drug possession, saying: "If you get caught with an ounce of cocaine, you're likely to go to jail... But it turns out, if you wash nearly a billion dollars for a drug cartel and violate sanctions internationally, your company pays a fine and you go home and sleep in your own bed at night. "
In May 2013, Warren sent letters to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Reserve, questioning their decision that solving rather than going to court would be more useful. Also in May, indicating that students should get "many of the same things that banks acquire", Warren introduces the Bank on the Student Loan Justice Act, which will allow students to take out government education loans at the same rate that banks pay to borrow from federal government, 0.75%., Independent Senator Bernie Sanders backed his bill saying: "The only thing wrong with this bill is that [he] thinks about it and I do not".
During the 2014 election cycle, Warren is a Democratic Party fundraiser. After the election, Warren was appointed to be the first Strategic Advisor to the Committee on Democratic Policy and Communications, a position created only for him. Further appointment added to speculation about the possibility of a president run by Warren in 2016.
Saying, "despite the progress we have made since 2008, the largest banks continue to threaten our economy," in July 2015 Senator Warren, along with John McCain (R-AZ), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Angus King (I-ME ) reintroduced the 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act, a modern version of the Banking Act of 1933. The law is intended to reduce risks for American taxpayers in the financial system and reduce the likelihood of future financial crises..
In a September 20, 2016 hearing called on Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf to resign, adding that he must be "criminally investigated" for the opening of Wells Fargo over two million checks and credit card accounts without the consent of their customers under his tenure.
In December 2016, Warren got a seat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, termed by The Boston Globe to be a "high profile on one of the most powerful committee rooms" that will "spark speculation about a possible 2020 bid for the president ".
On February 7, 2017, the Republican Party in the Senate voted that Senator Warren had violated the 19 Senate rules during the debate about Senator Jeff Sessions's top general candidate, claiming that he subdued his character when he quoted statements made about Session by Coretta Scott King and Senator Ted Kennedy. "Mr. Sessions has used the overwhelming power of his office to cool the free polling drills by blacks in the district he is now trying to serve as a federal judge.It can not be allowed to happen," King wrote in a 1986 letter to Senator Strom Thurmond, who trying to be read by Warren on the Senate floor. This action prohibits Warren from participating further in the debate on Session nomination for the US Attorney General. Instead, he stepped into the nearest room and continued reading King's letter while streaming live on the Internet.

Books and other works
Warren and his daughter, Amelia Tyagi, wrote Two-Income Traps: Why Mother and Middle Class Father Happened . Warren and Tyagi show that full-time workers are currently earning less adjusted for inflation than full-time workers 30 years ago. Although families spend less today on clothing, equipment, and other consumption, core expenditure costs such as mortgages, health care, transportation, and childcare have increased dramatically. The result is that even with two breadwinners, families are no longer able to save and have issued bigger and bigger debts.
In an article in The New York Times Jeff Madrick said of this book:
The authors found that not free young people shopping or paralyzed parents who declared bankruptcy so much like families with children... their main thesis can not be denied. Typical families often can not afford the high quality education, health care, and environment needed to become the middle class now. Clearer than others, I think, Ms. Warren and Ms. Tyagi has shown how little our nation and government attention to the American way of life.
In 2005, Warren and David Himmelstein published a study of bankruptcy and medical bills, which found that half of all families filing for bankruptcy did so after a serious medical problem. They say that three quarters of such families have health insurance. The study is widely cited in policy debates, although some have challenged research methods and offer alternative interpretations of the data, suggesting that only seventeen percent of bankruptcies are directly attributable to medical expenses.
The Book of Warren A Fighting Chance was published by Metropolitan Books in April 2014. According to a review published in The Boston Globe , "[t] the title of his book refers to the time he said he now no longer exists, when even families with simple, hard-working and rule-playing ways have the opportunity to realize American dreams. "
In April 2017, Warren published his eleventh book entitled, This Fight Is Our Battle: The Battle for Rescuing the American Middle Class , in which he explores the plight of the American middle class and argues that the federal government needs to do more to help families working with stronger social programs and increased investment in education.
