Bacon.\n\n\u201cI have heard from many Nebraskan farmers, manufacturers, and organizations who support the USMCA because it will create thousands of jobs, eliminate barriers, and add $68 billion in economic growth,\u201d he added. \u201cThese are just a few of the many reasons why I voted in favor of the USMCA, and I urge my Senate colleagues to do the same.\u201d\n\nThe Association of Equipment Manufacturers also stated their support of the USMCA and the benefits to Nebraska.\n\n\u201cWe are grateful to Rep. Bacon for his efforts to modernize and strengthen trade across North America and for his vote in favor of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement,\u201d said Dennis Slater, president of AEM. \u201cThe agreement ensures continued duty-free access to our industry\u2019s largest export markets, creates tens of thousands of new jobs, and adds $68 million to the U.S. economy. We applaud Rep. Bacon for his work to ensure the continued growth and prosperity of our industry, the local communities we serve, and the 18,000 hard-working men and women of the equipment manufacturing industry in Nebraska.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-27T23:45:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bacon.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=369"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.035560853779316, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
