The AFL-CIO urges Senate support for the confirmation of RI Governor @GinaRaimondo as the U.S. Sec'y of Commerce. Gov. Raimondo has a proven record of economic leadership that created economic opportunity and tens of thousands of good paying jobs for all Rhode Islanders.
A bold, progressive Governor, Raimondo invested in a wide range of infrastructure projects that supported the creation of good family sustaining jobs with wages and benefits that provided a pathway to the middle class.
With the creation of the nation’s first offshore wind farm, @GovRaimondo demonstrated that investing in clean energy does not mean sacrificing good union jobs.
Raimondo also became a national leader in her response to the #COVID19 pandemic and supported an increase in the state’s minimum wage.
We are confident that @GovRaimondo will bring the same leadership qualities that produced one of the nation’s fastest growing economies, while supporting the rights of workers to have a voice on the job, to the task of being the next U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
