Sonderling<\/a> praised Van Duyne\u2019s leadership during a press conference, calling the event \u201cthe Super Bowl\u201d of job fairs.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve heard 670 employers at this fair, the largest in the country,\u201d Sonderling said. \u201cThese opportunities here are really going to change lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sonderling thanked Van Duyne on behalf of President Donald Trump and said the event demonstrated a commitment to American workers.<\/p>\n
Local officials and candidates highlight opportunity<\/p>\n
Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector Rick Barnes (R) told The Dallas Express the job fair provides opportunities for employers and residents looking to enter the workforce or advance their careers.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the fundamental needs of most people is the ability to pay their bills,\u201d Barnes said. \u201cThis provides an opportunity for people to find maybe that first job, maybe a better job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barnes said the Tarrant County Tax Office participated in the fair and was hiring employees on the spot.<\/p>\n
Texas House District 94 Republican nominee Cheryl Bean, a homebuilder and small business owner, said the fair showed how job opportunities can support families and veterans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is how single moms can support their family. It\u2019s how veterans can continue to serve,\u201d Bean told The Dallas Express. \u201cWe don\u2019t do it by handouts. We do it by opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Texas House District 93 Republican nominee Alan Blaylock said the turnout reflected the strength of the region\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing over 600 employers and 68,000 jobs under one roof at Globe Life Field tells you everything you need to know about the North Texas economy,\u201d Blaylock told The Dallas Express. \u201cOpportunity exists here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Van Duyne\u2019s office said more than 100,000 North Texans had been connected with regional employment opportunities through the previous<\/a> four fairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"U.S. Rep.
