I changed the wording of the opening sentence; it could have been read as though Delaney founded four companies, not two.
"CapitalSource continued to be publicly traded on the NYSE after Delaney's election" - having this in there seems odd; why wouldn't it continue to be traded?
Also, the "ignored by larger banks" bit - it's important info, but maybe it should be written differently? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adrey ( talk • contribs) 12:09, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
No mention of Delaney's business connection to predatory finance - his investments included swindling and extortion from disabled people, who, for example failed to pay a water bill and ended up losing their properties. — Preceding

Here's a good op-ed by Delaney, and a critical commentary on it to meet WP:NPOV:

Turn Left on Main Street
June 3, 2015
by Bill Moyers and Michael Winship
Congressman John K. Delaney, what the hell are you talking about?
In a recent Washington Post op-ed piece, headlined, “The last thing America needs? A left-wing version of the Tea Party,” the Democratic congressman from Maryland scolds progressives and expresses his worry “about where some of the loudest voices in the room could take the Democratic Party.”
He writes, “Rejecting a trade agreement with Asia, expanding entitlement programs that crowd out other priorities and a desire to relitigate the financial crisis are becoming dominant positions among Democrats. Although these subjects may make for good partisan talking points, they do not provide the building blocks for a positive and bold agenda to create jobs and improve the lives of Americans.”
Rep. Delaney even implies that a freewheeling, open discussion of “these subjects” could lead to the election of a Republican president.
Good grief, John. A trade agreement that favors multinational corporations over working people? Cutting “entitlement programs” such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, worker’s compensation? Letting Wall Street off the hook for crashing the economy and costing millions of Americans their jobs and homes? These are Republican policies, bought and paid for by plutocrats. If Democrats simply mimic them, there would be no need to bother with voting for a Republican president; we could cancel the election and put the billions saved in campaign contributions straight into the Clinton Foundation.
The “loudest voices in the room” aren’t populists or progressives; they belong to the auctioneers selling our government to the highest bidders....

John Delaney (Maryland politician) → John K.
