Rep. Stevens Statement on USMCA Agreement

WASHINGTON —Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) released the following statement after Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal announced a deal with United States Trade Representative Ambassador Lighthizer on the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement.

“I am encouraged by the agreement announced by Speaker Pelosi and Chairman Neal this morning, and I look forward to reviewing the implementing legislation in full to ensure that the agreement includes adequate protections for American workers and for our environment,” said Congresswoman Stevens. “I have been pushing for a vote on USMCA by the end of the year because manufacturers in my district are looking for certainty, and that’s what this trade deal will bring along with jobs and economic growth.”

In July, Congresswoman Stevens was one of 14 House Democrats to call for a vote on a strong, bipartisan USMCA deal by the end of 2019. As Freshman Class Co-President, Congresswoman Stevens also convened a meeting between the freshman lawmakers and United States Trade Representative Ambassador Lighthizer.
