advocating for good-paying jobs
I look forward to building upon my progress as Vice Chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus and Member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce to support the Northwest Indiana steel industry and fight for the rights of every member of organized labor.
I filed for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in order to continue to address the pandemic health crisis, make investments to grow the Northwest Indiana economy with good-paying jobs, and bridge the division gripping our nation.
Evidence
"I will continue to bring back investments to grow the Northwest Indiana economy, fight for working men and women, protect women’s reproductive rights, and fight for good-paying job opportunities that support members of organized labor."
"He also supports the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act..." and "Rep. Mrvan will continue to work to support all workers and members of organized labor, and will continue to look for opportunities to advocate for apprenticeship programs, Davis-Bacon wage protection requirements, and the use of project labor agreements."
"Congressman Mrvan also serves on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development... includes resources and funds for sewer, water infrastructure, and economic development projects in Northwest Indiana."
"Rep. Frank J. Mrvan offered an amendment ... that would have required all steel used in construction projects at the White House to be produced in the United States..." and "I will continue to seek every opportunity ... to strengthen Buy America requirements and fight for our domestic workforce."
"the letter to President Trump seeks assurance that workers will be fully and actively informed and involved in decisions impacting the workforce, including the transfer of jobs, closure or idling of facilities, or reduction of capital investments."
"I look forward to continuing to build on this momentum to create more good-paying job opportunities for everyone in our region."
Assessments
The promise was framed as an advocacy commitment to fight for good-paying jobs and organized labor, not as a specific guaranteed enacted policy or jobs target. The evidence shows same-term actions aligned with that commitment: formal support for organized labor priorities such as the PRO Act, advocacy for apprenticeships, Davis-Bacon protections and project labor agreements, regional economic development and infrastructure work, an EDA grant announcement tied to job creation, a letter seeking worker protections in the U.S. Steel acquisition, and a Buy America steel amendment attempt. While not every effort succeeded legislatively, the promised action was to fight for these outcomes, and the record shows sustained relevant advocacy.
