Representative Mike Flood issued a series of statements via social media on April 9, 2025, discussing legislative actions connected with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and related regulatory measures. Flood, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Nebraska's 1st district, highlighted ongoing efforts to curtail certain regulatory expansions.

In a post made on April 9, Flood remarked on past attempts to broaden the authority of the CFPB, stating "Over the last four years, progressive activists sought to dramatically expand the regulatory authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau." This reflects his critical stance on the perceived overreach by the bureau.

Further, on the same day, Flood expressed anticipation for the enactment of a measure by the former President, "I look forward to President @realDonaldTrump signing this measure so we can quickly scrap another onerous Biden-era regulation." This underscores intent to remove regulations established in previous administrations.

Additionally, Flood emphasized the significance of repealing certain regulations, highlighting collaboration with House and Senate members. He noted, "Rolling back this regulation is critical to ensuring that the CFPB doesn’t become a barrier to innovation for job creators across America." He also expressed gratitude to fellow House colleagues and acknowledged Senator Ricketts's role.
