Congressman Evans' Third Bipartisan Bill Passes the House

Today the House of Representatives passed Congressman Gabe Evans’ bipartisan bill to find more ways for the United States to attract more foreign direct investment. Evans’ Global Investment in American Jobs Act was introduced with Democrat Illinois Representative Robin Kelly.

This is Congressman Evans’ third bill to pass the House, all of which have received bipartisan support.

“In Colorado alone, there are more than 126,000 workers that are the direct result of foreign direct investment. Of these workers, 31% work in manufacturing roles. These jobs, like other good blue-collar jobs in my district, provide stable and good-paying careers to constituents to help provide for their families. ” said Congressman Evans. “My bill tasks the Secretary of Commerce with conducting an interagency review to help create a more favorable environment for foreign direct investment, ultimately boosting our economy and benefiting American workers. International companies are beginning to recognize what most of us have known for decades: The American worker is among the most talented in the world.”
