Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that he has been named Co-Vice-Chair of the Senate Auto Caucus, a bipartisan group to promote auto companies and workers. Following the announcement, Brown offered the following statement:\n\u201cThe strength of the American worker is exemplified by our country\u2019s auto industry. Once on the brink, the American auto industry is now booming because our workers\u2019 perseverance and skill let the auto rescue achieve its goal of saving jobs and creating more. That is why I am honored to serve as Vice-Chair of the Senate Auto Caucus. And I am proud that one in every eight Ohio jobs is connected to the auto industry, and one in every six cars produced in the United States is made in Ohio.\u201d\u00a0\nBrown has long been a champion for Ohio\u2019s auto workers. In early 2009 Brown was a strong advocate for the American auto rescue. In November 2008, he introduced S. 3175, the Auto Industry Emergency Bridge Loan Act, with a bipartisan group of colleagues. In December 2008, Brown fought to ensure that funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) were allocated to aid the Big 3 and American auto suppliers\u2014despite near-unanimous opposition from House and Senate Republicans.\nOne in every eight Ohio jobs is connected to the auto industry; one in every six cars produced in the United States is made in Ohio; and 80 of Ohio\u2019s 88 counties are home to an auto manufacturing facility. \u00a0\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/20140221030956/http://www.brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/sen-brown-to-join-sens-levin-portman-in-leading-senate-auto-caucus"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9094821289181709, "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"}
