“I am proud to lead this bipartisan letter demanding the fair treatment of Vulcan Materials and Alabama workers in Mexico,” said Rep. Sewell. “For almost a decade, senior members of the Mexican government have used illegal tactics to intimidate Vulcan Materials and their workers, including a military seizure of Vulcan-owned property in Mexico. I have worked closely with my colleagues in Congress as we pursued all diplomatic and legislative options, including passing the Defending American Property Abroad (DAPA) Act. I will continue to fight for all the workers in my district who have suffered from illegal trade actions by foreign nations.”

The verified commitment is an action promise to continue fighting for district workers harmed by illegal foreign trade actions, not a promise that Mexico would resolve the Vulcan dispute. Verified evidence shows Sewell led a bipartisan letter to the Mexican ambassador expressing concern and outrage over Mexico's treatment of Birmingham-based Vulcan Materials and American workers. That is a material, attributable action in the same federal term matching the promised continued advocacy.
