America's manufacturing sector has played an invaluable role over the last century in propelling our economy and creating a strong and vibrant middle class. Manufacturing continues to be a bright spot in our economic recovery. Since 2010, the U.S. has added over half a million manufacturing jobs. That's progress. But in a time where millions of Americans continue to struggle, we can and must do more. Congress should be working every day to rebuild our economy and create good paying jobs right here in America, not overseas. That's why I support the Make it in America agenda, which will strengthen manufacturing and rebuild our infrastructure. It will also maintain our Nation's leadership in innovation and educate a 21st century workforce. The Make it in America agenda is a real jobs plan for this country. Democrats stand ready to act. Mr. Speaker, my constituents and all Americans cannot wait any longer. ____________________
