Dan Kildee: “That is no way to govern.”

I was unable to attend votes due to a death in the family. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 87 (H.R. 4723) and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 88 (H. Res. 149). PERSONAL EXPLANATION

Meeting the minimum standards is not good enough for our kids.

I think in particular, it would be a mistake for us to reauthorize without using the opportunity to elevate these relationships, specifically--and this has been referenced--in the area of worker rights.

One persistent problem that I have been focused on for the time that I have been here in Congress, both in the United States trade agreements and broader trade agenda, is the issue of forced labor.
