Following are Congresswoman Jenkins remarks:

“There is no doubt folks continue to struggle in this economy that the President has created. Just look at the headlines. But the House continues to pass bill, after bill, after bill, to address the issues and the Senate blocks them.

Look at the headline...“Fourth of July gas prices highest since 2008.”

Yet, the House passed the North American Energy Infrastructure Act. It was blocked by the Senate. The House has passed the Lowering Gasoline Prices to Fuel an America That Works Act. Blocked by the Senate.

Another headline…”The U.S. Economy Shrinks by Most in 5 Years.”

Yet, the House has passed the Northern Route Approval Act, the America Small Business Tax Relief Act, and the Stop Government Abuse Act. All three blocked by the Senate.

And a headline…. “40% of unemployed workers are millennials.”

The House passed Save American Workers Act, the Innovation Act. Both blocked by the Senate.

We have been consistently focused on creating jobs and building a healthy economy here in the House with passing nearly 300 bills that have been blocked by the Senate. Clearly there is a roadblock in Washington D.C. and that road block is Harry Reid.”
