It has now been nearly a year since the agreement was signed on November 30, 2018, by President Trump and the leaders of Mexico and Canada.\nCongressman John Moolenaar made the following statement on today's news:\nThe economy continues to be strong, with more new jobs and wages rising. In the district, I see Help Wanted' signs everywhere I go and I know our manufacturers are looking for hardworking people who are trained in the skilled trades.\nThe economy could be doing even better though if the House passed the USMCA trade agreement. So it is unfortunate that Speaker Pelosi said today there may not even be a vote until next year. This agreement was reached nearly a year ago and there should be a vote soon, but it's clear that impeachment is a more important priority for Democrats than passing anew agreement that will benefit Michigan farmers and manufacturers.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://moolenaar.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/more-new-jobs-created-octobe"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.559288240969181, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
