Political Quotes

“I am proud to rise in support of the America COMPETES Act. This legislation incorporates two bills that my office introduced: The Supply Chain Security and Resilience Act and the Regional Innovation Act. At a time when the need to finally secure our supply chains and rebuild a Made in America economy could not be clearer, my provisions of the bill from the Supply Chain Security and Resilience Act will put us on the path to doing just that. By creating a new office within the Commerce Department to promote U.S. leadership of critical industries and supply chains that are essential to our national and economic security, we will join businesses and government in common, national effort. The Regional Innovation Act would establish a Regional Technology and Innovation Hub program at the Department of Commerce to support regional economic development and innovation hubs nationwide. We can ensure that workers and businesses from all corners of our country, not just the coasts, benefit from investment. My community, Pennsylvania's Greater Lehigh Valley, is full of workers and businesses who have the vision, the talent, and the grit to reach global economic heights. They deserve the exposure to get their products to market. Our country has extraordinary promise. Let's pass this bill.”
