Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today as vice chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus to highlight a recent letter I wrote with Chairman Crawford to the administration. Specifically, we requested that the Department of Commerce and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representatives take action to address a recent surge of steel imports from Mexico. The letter highlights how recent reports reveal significant volumes of steel that were melted and poured in countries such as Brazil, South Korea, and Russia have entered our market through Mexico. This development is very concerning to us, as it is occurring when the American steel industry is making significant investments in new state-of-the-art, low-emission steel facilities. Madam Speaker, I look forward to continuing to work with the Steel Caucus and the administration to address this matter and defend American workers and steel manufacturers. ____________________”
