Following are Congresswoman Jenkins’ remarks:

“Senate Democrat Joe Manchin (D-WV) recently said ‘I’ve never been in a less productive time in my life than I am right now, in the United States Senate.’  

“A Democratic Chairman in the Senate said he’s ‘furious’ with his leaders for blocking a bipartisan jobs bill. 

“Senate Democrats have reason to be furious with Harry Reid. In this Congress, the Senate has blocked 3 out of every 4 bills that the House has sent them.

“And while the President was on his latest campaign tour, the House was finalizing legislation to close the skills gap and connect Americans to jobs AND passing another jobs bill to send to the Senate.

“We want to get more work done here. Kansans deserve that, and the American people deserve that. Which is why – despite the rhetoric that has plagued Washington – the House will continue to focus on strengthening our economy and passing legislation to help Americans find good paying jobs, even if Harry Reid is committed to obstructing nearly everything we send him.”
