Why I decided to vote for NAFTA by Rep Mel Reynolds
U S Rep Mel Reynolds explains his vote for NAFTA calling it bold and necessary for future growth. He cites jobs fairs that connected over 1,000 people to work, district exports expanding in automotive and metal sectors, and support from business and labor voices despite opposition. He notes NAFTA’s rules of origin and tariff eliminations favor North American producers and reaffirmed his belief the agreement will create district jobs.
