Cindy Daley, Director of Community Redevelopment Initiatives at Regional Housing Legal Services and Kevin Quisenberry, Litigation Director at the Community Justice Project were named as members of Governor-Elect Josh Shapiro's Transition Advisory Committee for Consumer Protection in the Housing area. 

The Advisory Committee for Consumer Protection will be chaired by Brian Hudson, Former CEO, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, and will include Former Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, housing authority experts and community development specialists.

This committee will play a critical role in advising the Governor-Elect in setting up an Administration that will protect the public from deceptive or unfair business practices and from unfair methods of competition through law enforcement, advocacy, research, and education. As Pennsylvania’s Attorney General, Shapiro took on the predatory lenders and returned over $130 million to Pennsylvania students and families who got screwed and taken advantage of. As Governor, he will continue to take on powerful interests on behalf of the good people of Pennsylvania.

Consumer Protection was one of the seven Transition Advisory Committees announced by Governor-Elect Josh Shapiro and Lieutenant Governor-Elect Austin Davis. Other Advisory Committees named include Economic Development; Environment/Energy; Public Safety; Education /Workforce; Health and Human Services; and State Government Operations.

The Transition Advisory Committees will advise the incoming Administration and prepare to advance Governor-Elect Shapiro’s top priorities: growing our economy, making our communities safer, and ensuring all Pennsylvania students receive a high-quality education.

In the Advisory Committees the Governor-Elect and Lieutenant Governor-Elect have assembled a diverse and experienced team of Pennsylvania leaders and policy experts to advise their transition on a wide array of different policy areas to help move the Commonwealth forward. From public safety to economic development, the Transition Advisory Committees will play a key role in ensuring the Administration is ready to tackle the Administration's priorities.
