Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter (CO-07) voted to reauthorize the U.S. Export-Import (EX-Im) Bank, which promotes exports by U.S. companies and supports more than 160,000 U.S. jobs.

"My district, the suburbs of Denver, 18 small companies benefit from the Export-Import Bank and the guaranteed support it provides. Hundreds and hundreds of jobs, and these are jobs in plastics, scientific equipment, food manufacturing, wood products, electrical equipment," said Rep. Perlmutter in his floor remarks in support of reauthorizing the Ex-Im Bank. "Those are the forgotten people in this argument. Those are real jobs and real people."
