The facility tour and visit with employees was an opportunity for Lufkin to share with Reed what Washington can do to lower the cost of doing business in New York and encourage manufacturers to do what Reed calls the \u201cmake it here, sell it there\u201d approach to American manufacturing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\u201cManufacturers like Lufkin are our nation\u2019s job creators and are central to the American manufacturing renaissance,\u201d Reed said. \u201cKnocking down barriers to growth, cutting that red tape and letting these businesses do their jobs is the best way to support a sector that employs more than 11 million Americans. One way we can spur that growth is through public-private partnerships outlined in the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act I introduced in the House.\u201d\nCongressman Reed introduced his bipartisan Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act of 2013 (RAMI) to help promote the \u201cmake it here, sell it there\u201d approach for local manufacturers like Lufkin. The bill brings together manufacturers, research universities and community colleges and the private sector to create a network of regional institutes across the country. Reed says the public-private partnerships will increase domestic production while arming the next generation with high-tech skills to fill in-demand jobs, addressing our country\u2019s skills gap.\nCongressman Reed, co-chair of the House Manufacturing Caucus, welcomes Southern Tier and Finger Lakes manufacturers of all sizes to Washington to participate in caucus events. Cummins, Dresser Rand, and Finger Lakes Community College/GW Lisk have all brought their stories to Washington. \u201cWe want to add to that list of New York experts in manufacturing sharing their success stories with the caucus,\u201d Reed continued. \u201cWe need that kind of conversation and collaboration on what is working and what isn\u2019t and Lufkin certainly has some \u2018best practices\u2019 to share with other manufacturers.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\nEarlier this summer Lufkin underwent a major expansion into its state-of-the-art, 55,000-square-foot facility, a move Congressman Reed says is good news for adding jobs for skilled workers and a multi-million dollar investment in the local economy. Reed\u2019s Lufkin visit comes on the heels of Reed\u2019s recent visit to another manufacturer, Nucor Vulcraft in Chemung.\n#####", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://web.archive.org/web/20131215112757/http://reed.house.gov/press-release/congressman-reed-lufkin-talk-manufacturing-caucus-rami-and-making-manufacturing"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.347765326499939, "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"}
