Submission statement: The Jones Act, which requires that cargo moving between U.S. ports must travel on U.S.-built, owned, crewed, and flagged vessels, is being targeted by a six-figure digital campaign calling for congress to repeal it. The costs associated with these U.S.-owned vessels are often pushed onto consumers in gas prices and food prices.
