Our constituents are directly affected by this contract, so we feel it is important to express our support for manufacturing in Spartanburg and urge you to continue to rise above the politics while providing the American people with the most efficient and viable solution as you look to modernize the USPS fleet,\u201d wrote the Congressmen.\n\n\u201cSouth Carolina has proven itself time and time again to be a manufacturing powerhouse. Our state\u2019s workers are experienced, hard-working, and more than qualified to take on this challenge,\u201d they continued. \u201cOver the last decade, South Carolina has added over 75,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector, and today, 14 percent of the state\u2019s workforce is employed in manufacturing. There\u2019s a reason companies like Boeing, Volvo, and BMW have all chosen to manufacture their products in our state. South Carolina\u2019s business friendly environment and dedicated workforce have made it a top destination for the world\u2019s largest companies, and we are excited to welcome Oshkosh Defense to the state\u2019s growing list of industry leaders.\u201d\n\nClick here or the icon below to read the full letter.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:06:17Z"]], "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://norman.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1194"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8253250271081924, "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"}
