Political Quotes

“I stand in strong support of the Make It In America plan and working to strengthen America's great manufacturing comeback. One of the biggest threats to that comeback is the growing skills gap in manufacturing, which is why I and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle have joined together to lead the Congressional Investment in America's Workforce Caucus. Through initiatives like Make It In America and the CIAW Caucus, we are working to expand apprenticeships and on-the-job training, increase employer-provided educational benefits, and provide tax credits for businesses who provide critical workforce training. Some of the efforts in my district are already seeing results. According to yesterday's Detroit Free Press, Wayne County, in my district, is leading the Nation in new manufacturing jobs added last year. Three other counties in the State of Michigan were added as well. If we keep this up and if we continue to work to close that manufacturing gap, we can make it in America. ____________________”
