U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement in response to the passing of Congressman for Massachusetts and U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank:

"In the aftermath of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Barney Frank was the gravelly-voiced, smart-as-a-whip congressman who fought hard to get the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over the finish line. His one-liners were wicked and wickedly funny. Barney delivered for working people, and the world is a poorer place without him."
