Lower Costs, Repeal the Jones Act

To: Rep. Schakowsky, Sen. Duckworth, Sen. Durbin

From: A constituent in Chicago, IL

June 13

I am a constituent from your district. I’m writing to ask you to support repealing, or at least heavily reforming, the Jones Act (Merchant Marine Act of 1920). My concern is that it limits competition in domestic shipping, which I believe contributes to higher costs for transporting goods like food and fuel which are passed onto everyday Americans such as me. I would also like to hear what your position on the issue is.
