Tester Statement on Silicon Valley Bank & Signature Bank

U.S. Senator Jon Tester released the following statement on the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank:

“I voted against bailing out Wall Street banks in 2008 and oppose any taxpayer bailouts for Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank now. We should be focusing on lowering costs for working people, not helping bank executives. I am in close contact with Treasury officials and will take on anyone in Washington to ensure that the executives at these banks and regulators are held accountable.”
