Bipartisan House Auto Caucus Urges Administration Action on International Semiconductor Shortage

Press Release

Today, House Auto Caucus co-chairs Representatives Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) and Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), caucus board members Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) and Fred Upton (R-Mich.), and 27 other members of Congress asked the Biden Administration in a letter to recognize and take action on the domestic shortage of semiconductor wafer chips.

"As members of the House Auto Caucus and who hail from districts with a significant American auto industry presence, we write to express our deep concerns regarding the ongoing global shortage of automotive-grade semiconductors," wrote the Representatives. "This shortage poses risk to the entire U.S. auto and trucking industry and the over 15 million American jobs the industry supports. We seek your assistance in finding a swift and workable solution to the shortage by working closely with government and industry officials in the U.S. and abroad, where these semiconductor wafers are predominantly produced."
