Hits The Road With Fellow Corporate CEO Who Proudly Boasts Of Outsourcing Jobs

MIDDLETON, WI - Imagine for a moment you're Sen. Johnson.

You’ve got two weeks to go until Election Day and your entire economic agenda is at odds with the middle class and working families of Wisconsin.

So what do you do when you’ve spent your entire career in Washington protecting loopholes for corporations that ship jobs overseas, voting for every bad trade deal to cross your desk in Washington, and protecting tax breaks for billionaires and multi-millionaires like yourself?

You call in the one Republican senator who proudly boasted, “I spent most of my career outsourcing.”

But it makes sense that Sen. Johnson would call on Sen. David Perdue of Georgia today. While Perdue proudly boasts of shipping jobs overseas to “Taiwan, Korea, China, Indonesia, Malaysia,” Sen. Johnson has spent his entire career in Washington aiding corporate CEOs like Perdue.

While Sen. Perdue openly supports the TPP, Johnson voted to fast track the disastrous deal. And while Sen. Johnson votes to eliminate crucial funding to retrain workers displaced by disastrous trade deals, he’s voted consistently to protect loopholes for outsourcers like his fellow Washington Republican David Perdue.

“Sen. Johnson is sending a clear message to Wisconsin’s workers today that protecting loopholes for corporate CEOs and his fellow Washington Republicans is far more important than the middle class and working families of this state who have been left behind by Sen. Johnson’s disastrous economic record. With two weeks to go until Election Day, you’d think Sen. Johnson would try to explain his failed economic record to the people of Wisconsin, but he’s decided to go all in with corporate CEOs who ship jobs overseas.” -- RFW Communications Director Michael Tyler
