Senator Barbara Boxer Backs American Jobs Act

BOXER STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S JOBS SPEECH

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Boxer (D-CA) issued the following statement after President Obama’s jobs speech tonight:
“The President’s plan for immediate job creation is the recipe we need to reinvigorate our economy. In Harry Truman-style – straight from the heart – the President was both inspirational and specific.

“I particularly support his call for rebuilding our deficient roads, bridges and schools and for helping homeowners refinance – issues that I have been working with my Republican colleagues to address.

“I will work on a bipartisan basis to pass the American Jobs Act.”
