The 12-term congressman was in an extremely tight race against challenger Lou Barletta, the mayor of Hazleton, Pa. Kanjorski garnered 52% of voters in Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District.
Kanjorski is a staunch supporter of credit union legislative initiatives in Washington. He was the original sponsor of the Credit Union Regulatory Improvements Act (CURIA, H.R. 1537), the Credit Union Membership Access Act (H.R. 1151) and the Credit Union, Bank and Thrift Regulatory Relief Act (CUBTRRA, H.R. 5519).
Kanjorski also chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government Sponsored Enterprises.
