President Trump\u2019s Working Families Tax Cuts bill gives more opportunity to create more jobs, and lets those workers keep more of their hard-earned money. I was glad to support it,\u201d said Dr. Cassidy.\n\nCassidy\u2019s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has provided over $10 billion to Louisiana. Much of that money is going to build and improve roads, bridges, and highways in Louisiana. Companies like RNGD build the infrastructure funded by that bill.\n\nAdditionally, Cassidy voted for President Trump\u2019s Working Families Tax Cuts bill, which made permanent income tax reductions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and a deduction to help small businesses expense capital investments.\n\nAt RNGD, Cassidy discussed how they invested $25 million to consolidate their Southeast Region campus. This project will retain 265 jobs in the region, while creating an additional 130 jobs. There is also a Renegade Academy on site, a training center that hosts their award-winning professional and workforce development program.\n\nCassidy was joined on the tour by Mr. Jerry Bologna, President and CEO of JEDCO, the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission, which helped RNGD expand in the parish.\n\n\u201cRNGD\u2019s decision to deepen its presence in Jefferson Parish has helped create more high-paying jobs and opportunities in our community while also amplifying the global message that JP is a destination for business, innovation and economic growth,\u201d said Mr. Bologna. \u201cSenator Cassidy\u2019s visit to the state-of-the-art, 14-acre campus provides a special recognition of the company\u2019s significant investment in Jefferson Parish and highlights the attention that this project has received on a national scale.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "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://www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cassidy-tours-facility-meets-employees-at-rngd-in-metairie/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8271040171384811, "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"}
