TRADE POLICY SPECIALIST, INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS
Mike Dolan is a trade policy specialist and lobbyist for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. A former labor lawyer and long-time political organizer, Mike brings three decades of coalition building and activism to the fight for Fair Trade. Mike has joined the Coalition for a Prosperous America at several of our meetings from California to DC and feels strongly that if CPA didn’t exist, “we’d have to invent it.”
Either we have a fashion industry or we have de minimis, but we cannot have both, warned Jacob Helberg, one of the 10 commissioners for the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission.
CPA looks forward to working with Senator Thune and lawmakers in Congress to advance policies that deliver on the Trump agenda to prioritize American workers, domestic manufacturing, and our nation’s economic security.
The next GOP leader must be 100% pro-tariff and aligned with the Trump administration’s agenda to use tariffs and industrial policy to create jobs, increase domestic production, and build broadly-shared economic growth that fuels America’s Golden Age.
U.S. manufacturing has fallen from 21-25% of GDP in 1950s to about 10% today. The decline is worse than the average of first world developed countries. The result is an unbalanced economy excessively dominated by services and imports.
