MOST INFLUENTIAL: Jason Stverak joins the Reporter’s list for his work advocating for credit unions

Jason Stverak, Chief Advocacy Officer of the Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC), earns his place among D.C.’s most influential advocates through his deep Capitol Hill connections, savvy media presence, and relentless fight to protect all credit unions.

With a track record as a top lobbyist and strong relationships with lawmakers, Stverak is leading the charge against the Credit Card Competition Act, which threatens to undermine credit unions’ ability to serve their 142 million members with affordable financial services.

Our Hill sources say, “DCUC punches above its weight and a big reason is because of Jason. He understands the intersection of politics and policy, he’s extremely hardworking, and he can run a campaign.”

His strategic leadership positions him as a pivotal voice in the potential upcoming battle to preserve credit unions’ tax-exempt status during a second reconciliation, ensuring these institutions can continue supporting service members and veterans with unmatched dedication.
