Rep. Sánchez Calls on Republicans to Stop Blocking Jobs for Working Families

Washington, DC - Today, Rep. Linda Sánchez (CA-39) joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other women Democratic Members of the House at a press conference to call on Senate Republicans to stop blocking critical job creation legislation.

Rep. Sánchez issued the following statement:

"I know that there are many families who are facing tough times in this economy.

"I want to reiterate what people in my district and across this country are saying: the American people want the government to focus on job creation and job training programs. It's particularly important among women of color and single mothers who have been hit especially hard by the recession.

"We cannot afford to wait any longer to protect working families. We cannot afford to wait any longer to breathe life back into our economy.

"It's time for Republicans start to listen to what American families are saying. This is not the time for political games. It is a time for investments to be made in bringing jobs to families, communities, and our country."
