It has been almost 12 months since we reached a new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada. Both Mexico and Canada promptly ratified the agreement, but the House majority party refuses to let us vote on it. While it is a multinational agreement, the benefits will be felt greatly in my home State of Indiana. Forty-seven percent of Indiana's exports go to Mexico and Canada, generating $18 billion in revenue for the Hoosier State. American workers need this. Hoosier workers need this.

It is time to find the courage to bring this trade deal to the floor for a vote. ____________________
