Congressman Gonzalez Votes for Passage of the USMCA

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Vicente Gonzalez (TX-15) voted in favor of H.R. 5430, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) Implementation Act. The USMCA will set the highest standard for enforcement in any U.S. trade agreement and provide much-needed certainty for farmers, ranchers, and businesses in the 15th District of Texas.

The agreement also includes a legislative victory for Congressman Gonzalez in the reauthorization of the North American Development Bank. The Bank works to finance environmentally sound infrastructure that enhances the quality of life for people living in communities on both sides of U.S. – Mexico border, including in the 15th District of Texas.

"This trade agreement is a hard-fought compromise that will bring certainty to families, farmers, and businesses in the 15th District of Texas and raise the bar for enforcement," said Congressman Gonzalez. "It is my hope that we can bring this same level of vigor and urgency to continue North American cooperation and compromise on insecurity and other critical issues that hinder regional prosperity."
