Issue Position: Trade

"Washington state is the most trade dependent state in the country. International trade matters tremendously to each and every region of my state and to every sector of our economy. Trade matters to my state in good and bad economic times. We are an export state. We have a trade surplus. We are also a port state and a gateway to Asia and the world. My constituents benefit from trade at every point. We grow the commodities. We move containers and cargo from ships to rail to destinations throughout the country. We manufacture, build, design, develop, finance and insure goods and services traded globally each and every day. Trade jobs - estimated to be one in three jobs in Washington state - are good family wage jobs in my state."
