“I rise in great urgency to voice the concerns of hardworking families in Indiana's First Congressional District. Communities across northwest Indiana are feeling the economic hardship and uncertainty brought on by this administration's policies. I was proud to support the bipartisan infrastructure law, which awarded $1 billion for a clean hydrogen hub that would create thousands of jobs in northwest Indiana. BP's oil refinery prepared to make a private investment of over $6 billion. Members of organized labor created apprenticeship programs to ensure we had the workforce to bring this project to fruition, but the so-called big, beautiful bill terminated the clean hydrogen production tax credit, causing BP to put the project on indefinite pause for reasons related to economic uncertainty. These policies are conscious decisions to create confusion, hesitation, and uncertainty, not just in hydrogen production, but also the challenges for our auto industry to grow and for the outsourcing of American steel production and our national security to the highest foreign bidder. The loss of American manufacturing jobs is a direct result of the administration's failed economic policies that harm hardworking families in my district.”
