CNBC CFO Council Summit

  • Senator Pat Toomey has been a leading voice on financial issues in the Senate, a fiscal, pro-business Conservative and maybe the last of a dying breed for either chamber of Congress. His decision to retire (a decision he announced in October 2020) set into motion one of the most intriguing campaigns of the 2022 midterm Elections, and the result is that next year, his seat will be occupied by a Democrat for the first time in 6 decades, and the Senate will remain in Democratic control. What does the outgoing Senator think of all that? CNBC's Sara Eisen interviewed him at the 2022 CNBC CFO Council Summit on November 30, 2022.

  • Representative Kevin Brady will finish out his thirteenth and final term in office later this year. As former Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means committee, Rep.
