Jim McDermott: “This hearing today is really about serving the greater good.”

This area is such a large part of our economy as well as such a large part of our question of national security.

In my opinion, it could be one of the most important hearings we have held during my time as ranking member on the subcommittee.

We are trying to figure out where we are going as a country and how we can turn our investments and innovation into sustainable models moving forward.

If confirmed as Deputy United States Trade Representative, I will continue to fight for American workers, fight for the environment, and fight for our economic future.
