23 Democratic Caucus Senators Call On McConnell To Support Job Creation With Super Committee | Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) joined 22 of his Democratic Caucus colleagues in the U.S. Senate to send a letter to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) asking him to support job creation measures on the super committee. “Let us be very clear: our fiscal challenge is directly linked to the jobs crisis and we cannot solve the former without tackling the latter,” the senators wrote to McConnell, noting that it is “appropriate and important that the JSC explicitly embrace job creation as a part of its mission.” You can read profiles of McConnell’s choices for the super committee here.
