Now that it is almost certain that Melissa Bean will no longer be a member of Congress from the 8th District, her name is being mentioned as the first head of the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Her Chicago friends in the White House and her leader in Congress Nancy Pelosa are working to take care of Bean after she lost her seat to Joe Walsh. However there are those on the far left that think Bean is not liberal / progressive enough for their tastes and are unhappy that she is being considered for this top post.
The Bean for Congress campaign staffers are still hopeful that somehow on November 16th enough votes from Lake and McHenry Counties will be found to reelect her to Congress. They might consider updating their resumes for a possible new position with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
