Ron Kind Joins Bipartisan Coalition to Renew the Export-Import Bank | 2015-10-27 | 2015 | 2015-10 | Democrat | House | WI | Ron Kind | K000188 | kind.house.gov | legacy | Rep. Ron Kind Joins Bipartisan Coalition to Renew the Export-Import Bank Renewal of the Bank Helps Wisconsin Businesses Keep Jobs Here at Home La Crosse, WI Today, U.S. Rep. Ron Kindvoted to renew the Export-Import Bank, which provides a variety of financing mechanisms to help foreign buyers purchase U.S. goods and services. In Wisconsin's Third Congressional District the bank has helped 19 companies increase exports and supports 480 jobs. The renewal comes 5 months after the bank's charter expired, and businesses across the country had begun to see the negative impacts from the expiration. Today's bipartisan vote to renew the Export-Import bank will help businesses across western and central Wisconsin grow and compete in the global marketplace. Almost every developed country has an Ex-Im bank to help their businesses and not having one put our economy at a severe disadvantage, Rep. Kind stated. The vote today was not only important for renewing the Export-Import Bank, but also serves as an example of what happens when we come together to put the country ahead of partisanship. An independent federal agency, the Ex-Im Bank creates and maintains U.S. jobs by filling gaps in private export financing at no cost to American taxpayers. The program is funded by fees on those who use the program not taxpayers and is so successful those fees actually exceed costs and help to reduce our deficit. Rep. Kind has long been a supporter of renewing the Export-Import Bank. Last year he hosted Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) Chairman Fred Hochberg at a Global Access Forum for small businesses in Eau Claire. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
