Flores Launches Informational Webpage Regarding Trade Promotion Authority

Press Release

The U.S. House of Representatives will soon be voting on Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). Congressman Bill Flores (R-Texas) has launched a webpage, flores.house.gov/tpa, to help get information out about TPA.

"President Obama has shown disregard for our Constitution and the legislative process. TPA provides us with a tool to restrict his power by allowing Congress to oversee trade deals and adding transparency and accountability to the process," Congressman Flores stated. "I have launched flores.house.gov/tpa to better inform the constituents of the 17th Congressional District of Texas about what TPA does and does not do. There is a lot of misinformation about the bill that is being circulated; I am hopeful that this webpage will help clear the air about what the bill actually does and explain my reasons for supporting TPA."

The webpage, flores.house.gov/tpa, contains key bullet points, op-eds, summaries and overviews of the legislative text, frequently asked questions, recent GOP weekly addresses regarding TPA and some infographics.
