WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), and Tim Scott’s (R-SC) applauded the U.S. Senate passage of their resolutiondesignating April 2025 as Financial Literacy Month passed in the U.S. Senate. Recognized by the U.S. Senate since 2004, Financial Literacy Month is a national celebration of financial empowerment that raises awareness on the importance of financial education and provides resources to help Americans of all ages develop and maintain healthy financial habits.
“Gaining control of your financial future is key to understanding personal finance. The more tools a family has, the more secure they will be,” said Dr. Cassidy.
“Financial literacy is critical to achieving financial independence and the American Dream. Unfortunately, many Americans growing up like I did lack basic financial education, which is why I’ve made it my mission to make programs and resources on this important topic more accessible. Designating April 2025 as Financial Literacy Month builds on our efforts to ensure all Americans can access the tools necessary to secure their financial future,” said Senator Scott.
Cassidy was joined by U.S. Senators Jack Reed (D-RI), Susan Collins (R-ME), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Jim Risch (R-ID), Gary Peters (D-MI), John Barrasso (R-WY), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), John Boozman (R-AR), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Bernie Moreno (R-OH), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), Angus King (I-ME), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Katie Britt (R-AL), and Jim Banks (R-IN) in introducing the legislation.
