Ron Estes (R-Kansas) and Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) announced they will host an information session on the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection (AMJP) Program with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) AMJP Program Director Elliott Black on Friday in Wichita. Local aviation manufactures are invited to attend to learn more about the AMJP Program and gain helpful insights on the application process.\n\n\u201cThe Aviation manufacturing industry is a key economic driver for the Air Capital of the World,\u201d said Rep. Estes. \u201cSen. Moran and I developed the bipartisan Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program to alleviate some of the impacts from the pandemic on the industry and keep skilled workers in our region. We are excited to host this event to promote, engage and inform industry stakeholders about this program and the application process.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe aviation manufacturing industry in Wichita plays a critical role in providing Kansans high-paying jobs and supporting commercial and general aviation across the country,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cI\u2019m pleased the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Program is now available to support this industry and their invaluable workforce while recovering from the pandemic, and I look forward to answering questions regarding the program and its application on Friday.\u201d\n\nThe program was created by legislation introduced by Sen. Moran and Congressman Estes to provide funding to eligible businesses to pay up to half of their compensation costs for certain categories of employees, for up to six months. In return, businesses are required to make several commitments, including a commitment that they will not involuntarily furlough or lay off employees within that group during the same period.\n\nParticipants:\n\nU.S. Senator Jerry Moran\n\nCongressman Ron Estes\n\nTom Gentile, Aerospace Industries Association Executive Committee Member/Spirit AeroSystems CEO\n\nElliott Black, U.S. DOT AMJP Program Director\n\nEvent Details:\n\nNational Center for Aviation Training at WSU Tech\n\nFriday, June 25, 2021\n\n9:30 a.m. CT\n\nWichita, KS 67226\n\nTo RSVP for the event, please visit estes.house.gov/AMJP.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:57:00Z"]], "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://estes.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3058"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.069324091076851, "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"}
