Monday: Manchin Kicks off Two Week Tour Focused on 'Fighting For Every Job'

Statement

Starting Monday, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will kick off two weeks of events throughout the state to highlight how he and the people of West Virginia are "Fighting for Every Job" now and into the future. The statewide tour will highlight the connection between jobs and energy independence, the Senator's agenda to help small businesses succeed, how to revitalize American manufacturing, the importance of training our workforce through higher education, and the Senator's growing effort to hire unemployed veterans.

"Not only are we fighting to keep every job, we're fighting to create good-paying jobs in our state. Whether it's through powering this nation with our vast energy resources, working to eliminate burdensome regulations or making sure our veterans have a good place to work, we in West Virginia have truly fought for every job," Senator Manchin said. "West Virginia has the strongest workforce in the world, and I am totally committed to making sure that our hardworking men and women are able to put their incredible talents to good use. We have done the heavy lifting to build this nation into the great power that it is today, and no matter what, I will do everything in my power to ensure our workforce in West Virginia stays strong and has the opportunity to succeed."
