RUSS CARNAHAN: “Families and small businesses have been hurting for too long. While the world is changing, Washington has made things…”

“Families and small businesses have been hurting for too long. While the world is changing, Washington has made things worse by ignoring American manufacturing and stifling American ingenuity. But here is what hasn't changed. Americans are still the most creative and most productive people in the world. We're still great at making things. And that's why I support the Make It In America agenda, because American manufacturing can and should be the central driver of our economy. The St. Louis region I represent has a strong base in manufacturing, and now we need to tap into that strength to bring high-quality, high- paying jobs back home. That's why my office is helping St. Louis-based heating and air conditioning manufacturer Unico after being unfairly targeted by regulators. With a level playing field, companies like Unico can compete anywhere in the world, and if we invest in education, innovation, infrastructure, and manufacturing, we can restore making things to a central place in our economy. I ask my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats alike, to stand with me to make these job-creating investments so we can Make It In America again. ____________________”
