Reichert Applauds House Vote to Reauthorize the Export-Import Bank | 2015-10-27 | 2015 | 2015-10 | Republican | House | WA | Dave Reichert | R000578 | reichert.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC - Today U.S. Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-08) spoke on the House floor about the urgent need for Congress to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Shortly after he spoke, the House passed a bill to reauthorize the Bank with strong bipartisan support by a vote of 313-118. Rep. Reichert made the following statement after the bills passage. I am proud to have cast a vote today in support of the 230 businesses and countless jobs in our region that have relied on Ex-Im, said Rep. Reichert. This invaluable resource has helped local businesses generate over $140 billion in exports for Washington State and if they can have Ex-Ims continued support, this number will only keep growing. Rep. Reichert continued, I am committed to seeing this legislation signed into law for our nations greatest job creators, and so that our businesses can continue growing, expanding to new markets, and creating more American jobs. Background: Prior to this afternoons vote, Rep. Reichert joined with over 40 Republicans in signing a petition to bring a bill to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank to the House floor. The Houses vote today to reauthorize Ex-Im was a result of that effort. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
