SCHUMER ANNOUNCES HE WILL BRING GLOBALFOUNDRIES WORKER, KIM SPICA, AS HIS GUEST TO PRESIDENT BIDEN’S STATE OF THE UNION TONIGHT; AFTER DELIVERING BILLIONS FROM HIS CHIPS & SCIENCE LAW TO HELP GLOBALFOUNDRIES GROW AND ADD THOUSANDS OF JOBS IN THE CAPITAL REGION, SENATOR SAYS PEOPLE LIKE KIM SPICA REPRESENT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA’S WORKFORCE

Press Release

“I am proud to announce that GlobalFoundries’ own Kim Spica will be my guest to President Biden’s State of the Union address. When I wrote my CHIPS & Science Law I had Upstate NY as my ‘North Star,’ to build the future of America’s industry here in the Capital Region, and Kim represents the best of that vision. She has trekked a path that will soon be a reality for thousands of workers in the Capital Region, coming up through the registered apprenticeship programs to become the future of our country’s semiconductor workforce, fulfilling the promise that people will have a future here in the Capital Region and across Upstate NY, and to grow and raise their families here. I am proud to have Kim at my side for President Biden’s State of the Union to show how my CHIPS & Science Law is trailblazing a new path for Upstate New Yorkers from GlobalFoundries in the Capital Region, to Micron in Central NY, and beyond. With a supercharged workforce that will fuel the jobs created by new chips investments like GlobalFoundries’, we will power up stronger than ever in the Capital Region and give more opportunities to people like Kim. Ever since GlobalFoundries’ first Fab 8 broke ground 15 years ago, I knew how significant the company would be for the Capital Region and Upstate NY, and with the recent billions I helped secure through my CHIPS & Science Law, they are primed to lead our nation’s semiconductor future for generations to come. I promise to never stop fighting for federal investments in semiconductor manufacturing and innovation for the Empire State and the jobs it will create in the Capital Region.”
