Today in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Representative John James participated in a business roundtable hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Macomb Chamber of Commerce. The event provided an opportunity for Rep. James to discuss his legislative efforts aimed at supporting economic growth and to engage with local small business owners.
Rep. James expressed his commitment to economic development, stating, "As a former businessman and CEO myself, I understand that jobs and economic development is the lifeblood of a community. I’m proud to represent an economic powerhouse of a district." He emphasized the importance of Metro Detroit's workforce as essential to the nation's economy.
During the discussion, Rep. James outlined several policy initiatives he has supported in Congress:
- The Reignite Hope Act offers a $3,500 tax credit to encourage more Americans to pursue careers in nursing, caregiving, and public safety.
- The REINS Act aims to combat excessive federal spending by promoting fiscally responsible policies.
- Efforts to reshore American jobs and critical minerals focus on reducing dependency on foreign entities like the Chinese Communist Party.
- The Soo Locks Security and Economic Reporting Act seeks to enhance security measures crucial for trade and industry.
- The No American Tax Dollars to CCP Act prevents companies influenced by foreign concerns from benefiting from U.S. tax credits.
- Advocacy for securing a long-term fighter mission at Selfridge Air National Guard Base underscores its significance to the local economy.
Rep. James highlighted these actions as part of his ongoing work to support constituents in Michigan's 10th Congressional District.
