Updated Advisory: Manchin Continues Week 2 of 'Building a Stronger America Together' Tour
Senator Manchin continues the second week of his tour to focus on honoring our veterans and confronting the nation’s fiscal challenges
Charleston, W.Va. – U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will continue to travel next week around West Virginia on his “Building a Stronger America Together” tour to discuss some of the most pressing issues of our day and how leaders must work across party lines to solve them.
“Whether it’s reducing the debt of this nation or creating good-paying jobs, the problems that we face can’t be solved by one political party alone,” Senator Manchin said. “When I was Governor, West Virginians of all political parties put aside their differences for the good of our state; our country can and must do the same. Nothing could be more important than rebuilding this country, and I look forward to having this conversation with the people of West Virginia.”
During the first week of his tour, Senator Manchin met with seniors and young people, hosted two public meetings, and addressed the need to rebuild America and create jobs through infrastructure projects. This week, Senator Manchin will also promote his “I Hire Veterans” project to increase veterans’ employment, discuss how the National Guard can help the military save money and strengthen defense and speak to business leaders.
Finally, Senator Manchin will continue to encourage all West Virginians to attend the first-ever bipartisan federal fiscal summit on Sept. 10. Two of the nation’s leading fiscal experts will be joining Senator Manchin to discuss our country’s finances and our future. Republican Senator Alan Simpson and Mr. Erskine Bowles, the former White House Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton, led the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform and have presented a bipartisan blueprint for a path forward. The free forum is open to the public and will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 10 at the Culture Center theater in Charleston.
