Political Quotes

“Later today, I will join House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer to announce our Make it In America agenda, a legislative package that will help reinvigorate our manufacturing sector and grow American manufacturing jobs. These bills will help to put our country back to work by helping to create good-paying jobs, the kind of jobs that built the American middle class of this country. Earlier this year, I introduced one such proposal, the Make It In America Manufacturing Act, which establishes a competitive grant program that will help small- to medium-sized manufacturers retool their facilities and retrain their workers to compete in the 21st century. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York has introduced a companion bill in the Senate that is cosponsored by Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse. These are the kinds of commonsense proposals that we need to support if we are going to get our economy back on the right track and get folks back to work. I urge my colleagues to support the Make It In America agenda, and I look forward to joining Whip Hoyer for his announcement this afternoon. ____________________”
