SHAHEEN STATEMENT ON BRING JOBS HOME ACT VOTE

(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) released the following statement after the Bring Jobs Home Act, of which she is an original cosponsor, advanced in the Senate:

“American taxpayers have for too long been footing the bill for companies that ship jobs overseas. It’s time for that to end. Today we took an important step forward by advancing commonsense legislation that would eliminate tax incentives for companies sending jobs out of the country and instead cut taxes for companies that bring jobs back home. I’ve been fighting for this legislation for years and will continue to do so because it’s the right thing to do for our economy.”
