Hoyer Announces New List of Bills as Part of Make It In America Plan

Statement

Today, I delivered a major policy speech on the role of manufacturing in building a strong and competitive economy, and introduced a new list of bills as part of the Democrats' Make It In America jobs plan. Manufacturing has led our economic recovery over the past two years, and I am committed to strengthening the industry by focusing on the Make It In America plan -- a comprehensive agenda to create the conditions necessary to help businesses manufacture goods, innovate, and create jobs here in Maryland and across the U.S. It includes investments that will keep America competitiveand allow us to out-educate, out-innovate, and out-build our competitors across the globe.

Since the plan was introduced two years ago, President Obama has signed ten Make It In America bills into law. Many of those bills enjoyed bipartisan support, and several of the new bills highlighted in my speech today are supported by Members on both sides of the aisle, as well as business and labor. I will be urging both Democrats and Republicans to work together to pass additional bills so that we can grow our economy, create jobs, increase American competitiveness, and ensure Maryland businesses and families can Make It In America.

As always, thank you for allowing me to share this information with you, and please continue to share your concerns and insights with me by contacting my office or connecting with me on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube.

With warmest regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

Steny H. Hoyer
