Jobs Must be Evolving and Secure

Press Release

David Orentlicher will unveil a jobs plan to promote job growth through investments in technology, education and workforce development.

"We need to reverse the one-way street of jobs leaving America. For too long, the global economy has allowed other countries to take our jobs while we get higher gas prices, shuttered plants and a faltering economy. I will fight to defend American jobs and create new ones. We need to draw upon the American innovative spirit to generate the manufacturing jobs of the future, particularly jobs that foster energy efficiency. We can lower unemployment and gas prices at the same time," Orentlicher said.

"We also must ensure that workers are treated fairly. We need to promote trade across national borders, but when we sign free trade agreements, they must be FAIR trade agreements with environmental, labor and civil rights standards that are on par with what we expect from our own companies," Orentlicher said.

David Orentlicher lives on the North side of Indianapolis with wife Judy and children Cy (7) and Shayna (4) and he has represented the 86th district since 2002.
