The difficult economy has affected all of us, and Sheldon has been working with Rhode Island's manufacturing community and small businesses to create and keep jobs here in the Ocean State. Through his Making It in Rhode Island initiative, Sheldon's heard from business owners all over our state, and he's bringing our voices and our priorities to Washington: fighting China's unfair trade practices, supporting Rhode Island's Manufacturing Extension Program (RIMES), and pushing for legislation that helps small businesses obtain capital and keep their doors open. He has focused on creating Rhode Island's clean energy jobs of the future, and has introduced a bill to end corporate tax breaks companies receive when they ship jobs overseas.
