Manchin: Time to Focus on Rebuilding America--August Work Schedule Included
During August work period, Senator Manchin will launch ‘Rebuilding America Week,’ where he will visit at least 20 counties to highlight his initiatives to restore economic growth, fiscal stability, and confidence in America’s future
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday will launch a statewide tour of West Virginia focused on the need to rebuild America and strengthen our future with a commitment to job creation and rebuilding our economy.
Senator Manchin will meet with business and labor leaders, students, manufacturers and residents during events in at least 20 counties. During these events, Senator Manchin will highlight a multi-pronged, commonsense legislative strategy for job creation and economic growth.
“Now more than ever, it’s time to rebuild America. It's time for Washington to pass commonsense legislation that will restore confidence and create an economic environment that will allow families and businesses -- whether in West Virginia or across America -- to thrive and succeed,” Senator Manchin said. “To accomplish these goals, we need to focus on job creation, adopt a plan to achieve energy independence, eliminate out-of control rules and regulations, and achieve fiscal stability by responsibly cutting spending. I am looking forward to sharing my ideas and collecting commonsense input from West Virginians as I travel throughout the state this month.”
