Today, Senate Republicans voted to kill the Bring Jobs Home Act. This bill would have ended the ridiculous practice of American taxpayers picking up the tab for companies moving abroad and sending American jobs overseas. In Nevada alone, this bill would have protected 150,000 jobs. Republicans voted against an increase in the minimum wage; they voted against equal pay for women; they voted against cost-cutting energy efficiency; they voted against student loan refinancing. When will Republicans in Congress start to focus on the many families who depend on the jobs that Senate Democrats tried to protect today? I will continue to act on behalf of Nevada, and America’s middle class, to pass bills that give Americans a fair shot at good, secure jobs.
