During an fundraising event at Kinecta FCU here, U.S. Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald (D-CA) offered some unsolicited praise for the public advocacy advertising currently being backed by the state's credit unions.
"When I met with you in the past, I stated that credit unions need to tout their service to local communities," Millender-McDonald said. "I recently heard your advertisements on the radio describing the ways credit unions benefit their communities, and I was so delighted I almost had to stop my car on the freeway! I've met with bankers and told them they should be offering the kinds of services credit unions provide for their communities."
