DPCC Co-Chair Dingell: The House Has Delivered For The People— It’s Time For McConnell To Do The Same
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, Co-Chair of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, appeared on At This Hour With Kate Bolduan on CNN to discuss House Democrats' unwavering commitment to deliver on their promises For The People. Rep. Dingell emphasized the importance of our constitutional oversight responsibilities as well her commitment to lower prescription drug costs, protect workers' rights, and ensure domestic violence is punished to the full extent of the law. Below are excerpts from the interview. Click here to watch the video.
"The President promised the American people he would lower the cost of prescription drugs. We've all got to work together to do that and I intend upon doing that. I want a trade bill. The GM UAW workers just went on strike, they're still negotiating with other people. They've seen their jobs shift overseas. Getting a NAFTA 2.0 that works for workers in this country is a priority for me. Protecting the pensions of many of the workers in my districts are a priority to me. I don't stop. I'm working every day and I sincerely hope that Senator Mitch McConnell will think soon about passing the bills we have passed. It's domestic violence month, [and] he has yet to bring up the Violence Against Women Act! For him to say the House isn't doing anything, is just such a—I can't even use the word—and I sincerely hope that the Senate will start to move some of the bills [that] we have been trying to move."
