“This Labor Day, we celebrate the success of America’s working men and women who built our great country. As a non-practicing registered nurse and dues paying union member, I have seen firsthand the importance of investing in the American worker to ensure all members of our society are given the opportunity to work toward achieving their American Dream. Due to the recent suffering of those in Houston and South East Texas, we must recommit ourselves to putting working families first so every Texan and American can envision a prosperous future for themselves and their children. I pledge to be on the side of the working people so the American workforce can continue to be the lifeblood of our nation's economy and democracy." Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
