Rep. Wagner Statement on Reauthorization of the Ex-Im Bank

October 27, 2015

Congresswoman Ann Wagner released the following statement on the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank of the United States:

"Today, I voted to protect St. Louis area jobs and help businesses across Missouri by bringing back the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Over the past eight years, the Export-Import Bank has assisted 125 Missouri businesses receive the financing they need to expand production and support 9,400 Missouri jobs. Congress should be working to encourage private sector job growth that will lead to higher wages and economic growth for Missouri families. Reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank accomplishes that goal and for this reason, it earned my support."
