Our trade policy hemorrhages manufacturing jobs

Q: What issues will decide this Senate race?

A: We've lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs in Mike DeWine's term of office. Yet our government has no manufacturing policy. We have no policy to give tax incentives for domestic manufacturing. Our trade policy is a big part of the reason that we're hemorrhaging manufacturing jobs as companies out-source. That's going to be one of the biggest issues of this campaign - that we continue to lose good-paying, industrial manufacturing jobs.
