Gubernatorial campaign websites: on Free Trade


Mark Robinson: I lost not one, but two jobs due to NAFTA

Those early years of hardship were just the beginning of my struggles. My wife and I have endured a lot. I lost not one, but two jobs due to NAFTA. We lost homes, cars, and were even forced into bankruptcy. I remember lying awake at night wondering how I was going to pay the bills.

Dave Reichert: Chaired Trade Subcommittee; championed free-trade agreements

He would later become a senior member of the most powerful panel in Congress -- the Ways & Means Committee -- where he worked to keep taxes low as chairman of the Tax Subcommittee, helped improve our nation's foster care system as chair of the Human Resources Subcommittee, and became chairman of the Trade Subcommittee where he championed free-trade agreements critical to over 248,000 jobs in Washington State.
