Missouri Credit Unions Connect with U.S. Representative Jason Smith

Thu August 07, 2025

On Tuesday, Aug. 5, local leaders hosted U.S. Representative and House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith for a fundraiser and conversation about community priorities at an event in Cape Girardeau. Missouri Credit Union Association Executive Director Raymond Bozarth introduced Chairman Smith to Century Credit Union President/CEO Josh Wallace.

Wallace shared how Century Credit Union supported families when Mag 7 Metals announced 400 layoffs at its Marston plant; dispatching staff directly to the site to help affected workers review budgets, set up payment plans, and navigate immediate financial needs. 

Cornerstone League values a constructive, ongoing relationship with Chairman Smith and his team while we advocate for credit unions and their members at the federal level.

The exchange highlights the credit union difference and the role our institutions play when communities face sudden change.
