"Well folks, after a late night of voting, we've officially done it: we're in conference to get our manufacturing bill done! I'm proud to have been working on this initiative since last summer and excited to see progress. Here's what's happening (a thread):

Last summer, the Senate passed a bill that contains a lot of provisions I worked on to create jobs, foster U.S. innovation, and restore American leadership in the semiconductor field.

I'm excited about it because semiconductors are absolutely critical to our supply chain, so passing this bill will ease bottlenecks, lower prices, and create good-paying jobs.

In February, the House acted on this legislation and passed their own version -- but because there were slight differences, we needed to move into a set of negotiations (called a conference). I was selected to help lead these negotiations and get a final bill to @POTUS' desk.

Last night, we held several final votes to officially get to conference, and now we're set to begin negotiating. I'm ready to get to work and get this bill done for Virginia. It's a serious investment in our economy, our technology, and our workers."
