Issue Position: Fighting for Maine manufacturing jobs

Issue Position

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I led a fight to stop wasteful spending on a new jet engine that would take jobs from the Pratt and Whitney plant in Maine and send them to a foreign owned company. Supporting the world class workers at Bath Iron Works and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is also a top priority for me. Both yards have a well deserved reputation for high quality work delivered efficiently, often ahead of schedule and below budget. I believe supporting BIW and PNSY not only protects Maine jobs, but is also the most efficient use of taxpayers' resources.
