Andrea Zopp on Free Trade

	Andrea Zopp on Free Trade

Ex-Im Bank protects US manufacturers and promotes fair trade

As Senator, Andrea will work with her fellow lawmakers to pursue a comprehensive strategy that will strengthen our manufacturing sector to counteract the challenges form foreign competitors, as well as promote fair trade agendas that enable American manufacturers to compete in the in the global market. She will also promote initiatives that encourage businesses to move jobs and innovation back to the US.

As Senator, Andrea will support the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) and policies that encourage entrepreneurship.

Reauthorization of funding for the Ex-Im Bank is important to small businesses because the bank provides funding for these businesses that cannot be filled by traditional financing. The Ex-Im Bank supported a total of $5.17 billion of exports from 322 Illinois-based businesses between 2009 and 2014--with nearly two-thirds of them small businesses. Andrea is committed to working across party lines to ensure that an Ex-Im Bank reauthorization can be passed.
