Washington, DC — Iowa Congresswoman Cindy Axne, a Democrat from West Des Moines is backing a bill she says will help with supply chain issues at the country’s ports.
She says it prohibits ocean carriers from unreasonably declining opportunities for U-S exports.
Axne says the requirements could be enforced.
The supply chain issues are one of the factors in the high inflation the country is experiencing. Axne says it’s not the main problem.
Axne rejects the idea that the big-spending bills add to inflation.
Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson spoke with reporters today (Friday) on her weekly conference call and says spending more isn’t the answer.
She says the spending bills pushed by Democrats are making things worse.
She is backing her own legislation to deal with supply chain issues.
Hinson is seeking re-election in the new Second Congressional District. Axne is seeking re-election for a third term in the new Third Congressional District.
