[OPPOSED BY A MAJORITY OF HOUSE REPUBLICANS] Just one year of a failed Republican House Majority: OBSTRUCTING JOB CREATION Failed to introduce a jobs plan and voted for budgets that would cost nearly 2.5 million American jobs and voted against at least 17 times against Democratic e orts to create them.
