Ted Lieu on Consumer Protection

In today’s economic crisis, consumers need protections from large corporations and predatory businesses. Long before the cracks in our system were obvious, Ted was standing up to these powerful interests.

In the state legislature, Ted has made consumer and fraud protection a top priority. For his work on behalf of consumers, Ted received the “Distinguished Leader Award” from the Greenlining Institute.

As Attorney General, Ted will stand up for the rights of all California citizens, protecting California from fraud, abuse and mismanagement.
