When I took office 1 year ago, I promised a new day at the SEC. And we've delivered. With our agenda to restore regulatory clarity, strengthen competitiveness, and accelerate innovation, we are making sure the U.S. remains the world’s strongest and safest place to invest.

Great to be in Chicago at NIRI2026 to discuss my efforts to return @SECGov to its core mission, including reforming our disclosure regime to reinvigorate capital formation and Make IPOs Great Again.

One of the best ways we can protect investors and facilitate capital formation is by empowering Americans to invest wisely—especially the service members who defend our Republic. It was an honor to spend time with some of these brave men and women last week.

President Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.” Over my 3 tours at the SEC, I have discovered six equally terrifying words: “We should create another disclosure requirement." @RonaldReagan

.@SECGov HQ is steps away from Columbus Circle. The fountain's restoration is awe-inspiring, especially considering nearly 20 years of neglect and vandalism. Grateful for @POTUS' leadership and efforts by @SecretaryBurgum and @Interior to restore this historic landmark just in

Chairman @SenatorTimScott has long opposed the Biden SEC’s climate disclosure rule, and @SECPaulSAtkins is right to rescind it. @SECGov should be focused on its core mission – not imposing a backdoor climate agenda on American businesses. This is a win for common sense.

🚨 TODAY: SEC proposes rescission of overly burdensome and costly climate-related disclosure rules. The SEC’s proposal focuses on returning the agency to its core mandate and restoring a materiality-focused approach to securities regulation.

Today, we proposed the rescission of the prior administration's ill-advised climate rule. The @SECGov exists to serve all investors, not to advance an agenda of the politicized few who have axes to grind or business models to aggrandize.
