I’m Congresswoman Suzan DelBene of Washington. Before coming to Congress, I was an entrepreneur.  I know that innovation is at the heart of who we are as Americans – and it is essential to keeping American workers, American products and American ideas number one in the 21st century.
A decade ago, House Democrats enacted the first Innovation Agenda. With the majority, we made revolutionary investments in clean energy development, in affordable, world-class STEM education, and in expanding broadband to rural families.
And House Democrats will work with President Hillary Clinton to sustain America’s lead in innovation – creating good-paying jobs, powering our economy, and driving bold solutions to the challenges facing our climate and our communities.
A strong America – an America that’s “Stronger Together” – will lead the world in entrepreneurship, innovation and clean energy.
