Good afternoon,
As you cover President Trump in Pennsylvania today, please consider the following statement from me:
“While 2020 Democrats run on eliminating fossil fuels and thousands of Pennsylvania jobs, President Trump is showcasing his commitment to Pennsylvanians by ensuring we’re energy and manufacturing leaders on the world stage. As the nation’s second largest natural gas producer and a large manufacturing state, Pennsylvania is benefiting from increased energy production and manufacturing jobs thanks to this administration.” – RNC Spokesperson Christiana Purves
Background:
- Since President Trump was elected, chemical manufacturers have added over 47,000 jobs.
