Congressman John LaFalce |
| |
| Congressman LaFalce has served Western New York’s 29th District as its Representative since being first elected in 1974. He successfully won re-election in November 2000 for his fourteenth term. He plans to retire from Congress this year, at the end of his current term. A Buffalo native, Congressman LaFalce earned his undergraduate degree from Canisius College and his J.D. from Villanova University School of Law. After law school he served in the United States Army Adjutant General Corps and then practiced law at the Western New York law firm of Jaekle, Fleishman and Mugel. In 1970 he entered public service, winning a seat in the New York State Senate, and in 1972 he was elected to the State Assembly. In 1974, Congressman LaFalce became only the second Democrat to win his Congressional District seat. After serving on a number of committees, he was elected Chairman of the full House Committee on Small Businesses in 1987 and was named ranking Democrat on the Banking Committee in 1998. Congressman LaFalce has been a leader in Congressional efforts to modernize the nation’s complex financial services systems. He was instrumental in the passing of the Financial Services Act of 1999, for which he earned the “American Financial Leadership Award” from the Financial Services Roundtable. Congressman LaFalce has also been a longstanding consumer advocate, authoring key provisions in the 1999 financial services legislation designed to protect consumers from deceptive practices in bank sales of insurance and investment products. He is also regarded for his leadership on international financial issues, having passed major debt relief legislation for highly indebted poor countries. |
