The United States has, historically, been a shining example for the rest of the world.  Our entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic have made us a global economic leader.  In the past few years, however, Americans have endured a recession and high unemployment.  We remain confident in our ability to work together to find solutions to our nation’s most pressing problems and are pleased to invite your company to join us from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Tuesday, November 22nd, at the ShoWare Center in Kent for a Jobs Fair.

We are working together on this joint venture because we have heard and understand the common request of local business leaders and job seekers alike: create an environment for economic growth and work across party lines to create jobs.  Bringing local businesses and individual constituents together in one place is a great way to increase employment, improve the local economy, and gather feedback on how families are coping during these difficult economic times.

We are honored to co-host this event in Kent, a city we both represent.  We both believe strongly in strengthening businesses in our local economy and no amount of partisan politics can change the fact that we, as elected representatives of the people, will work together and do our best to improve the communities in which we serve and live.  What if we place just a few dozen eager workers in new positions this holiday season?  Think of the impact that would have on their families, their employer, and the community.

The event is free for businesses and job seekers.  Please contact Kelley Goetz at 206.275.3438, or kelley.goetz@mail.house.gov, to register as a vendor or to ask questions.  Space is limited so please sign up by 5:00 PM on Friday, November 4, to guarantee your business is represented.  Your service to the community is appreciated and we hope you can partner with us to make this Jobs Fair a success.
