Education

My version of that in Western Pennsylvania is I want to make more stuff in America. I want to have solid union jobs. I'm not a guy who's afraid to say, sometimes tariffs make sense. Sometimes they're crazy, the way the President has approached tariffs. Tariffs have to be part of a broader industrial policy, but let's make stuff in America. Let's have solid union jobs in the mill towns that I represent.

Rep. Chris Deluzio on How Democrats Should Fight Back

In response to a question asking what policies Democrats should unite around, Deluzio said: "I'll give you the PRO Act as an example, which is maybe the top priority of organized labor. And I think nearly every House Democrat co-sponsors it, but that should be front and center for us, right? And yes, the PRO Act matters, but so does an industrial policy is going to bring jobs back home. Part of that is trade enforcement. Part of that is tariffs. Part of that is incentivizing companies to make stuff in America."

I talk to people in my district. They'd like a tax cut. They'd like our government to not betray the promises of Medicare and Social Security. They don't think Medicaid should get slashed to funnel money to robber barons and huge corporations. That's all very popular, and by the way, it's good policy. And you also layer in anti-monopoly work. Our main streets should have small businesses that are people in our community who aren't getting crushed by big corporate monopolies.

Supports policies to strengthen domestic industry, including trade enforcement, tariffs, and incentives for domestic manufacturing, to create union jobs.
