Wagner Statement Regarding Missouri House Resolution on F/A-18 Super Hornet
The Resolution passed by the Missouri House disparaging Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet in favor of the Texas-built F-35 was wrong and is an affront to a great corporate citizen of the St. Louis area and the state of Missouri. The F/A-18 Super Hornet is important to the United States Military as they complete critical missions around the globe in the name of freedom and prosperity.
The economic impact Boeing has on the St. Louis area and the state of Missouri cannot be understated. Boeing has been and always will be a strong part of the St. Louis community with a history of building jobs and making our country safer. Boeing is home to approximately 15,000 private sector jobs in the St. Louis area and employs over 23,000 hard-working Missourians statewide; many of them building the F/A-18 Super Hornet. These are real workers and real families working to keep us safe every day.
Instead of working against a top employer in the state of Missouri like Boeing, we should be working with them in support of their very important mission. I will always support Boeing's mission and the over 23,000 workers they employ and when I am elected to Congress, I will continue to fight and defend the work they provide for this country.
Sincerely,
Ann Wagner
