Ohio Credit Union League celebrates collective, measured, and strategic efforts to protect credit union tax status in recent Senate budget resolution

COLUMBUS, OH (April 23, 2026) |

Today, Ohio Credit Union League President Paul Mercer released the following statement after the Senate passed a budget resolution last night to end the partial government shutdown, which does not include any language to change the current credit union tax status.

“By working together strategically and with discipline, the Credit Union Movement has once again demonstrated the power of effective advocacy. Through thoughtful coordination, deliberate engagement, measured strategy, and strong relationships with key members of Congress, we clearly positioned our priorities and advanced our shared interests. When we speak with one voice and lead with strategy, rather than reacting to external pressures, we deliver results. The Ohio Credit Union League, alongside America’s Credit Unions and our collective member credit unions and League partners, will continue working in close alignment to protect credit unions’ best interests and secure meaningful wins for our Movement.”
