What a great week for #communitybank advocacy! It was an honor to join over 170 Texas community bankers and advocates on Capitol Hill representing the @myibat Independent Bankers Association of Texas this past week. Community bank deposits make small business loans that fuel the US economy - one #MainStreet at a time! @IBAT_CLW @charlesepotts

Great to welcome South Texans (Ricky Leal from Harlingen & Brad and Connie Womack of Kingsville) and others from the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) to our nation's capital.
Representing over 300 banks with 3,000 branches statewide, IBAT commits to safe and responsible lending that helps small business grow, families own their first home, and farmers feed America. I look forward to our continued partnership to strengthen South Texas!

It’s the doldrums for data this week and investors may need to look at less quantifiable variables for uplifting news. These include positive results on vaccine studies and soon-to-be-fulfilled hopes of more economic stimulus.
