Washington, DC -- Tomorrow, Congressman John B. Larson (CT-01), Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, will host the first meeting of the new Working Group on American Jobs with co-chairs Cong. Betty Sutton (OH-13) and Cong. Alcee Hastings (FL-23). The working group will be focused on bringing new and creative ideas to the table that will create jobs and rebuild the economy with the middle class and working Americans in mind.
