Donnelly has repeatedly tried to set up a phone call with the Milwaukee-based CEO of Rexnord, and to date, the company has been unwilling to facilitate a conversation about why it is considering sending Hoosier jobs to Mexico.\r\nDonnelly said, \u201cFor nearly a month, I\u2019ve been trying to better understand Rexnord\u2019s \u2018tentative\u2019 plan to outsource good-paying Hoosier jobs.\u00a0 Just like Carrier, Rexnord has refused to provide clear answers. While I understand Rexnord is in discussions with union officials, if a company plans to upend the lives of\u00a0hundreds of families, the least it can do is be upfront about its desire to chase cheap wages.\u201d\r\nAfter Rexnord announced almost a month ago that it \u201ctentatively\u201d decided to move its Indianapolis operation to Mexico, Donnelly said he was looking for an explanation from Rexnord about its plans.\r\nDonnelly has pushed for policies that invest in our workers, strengthen the middle class, and promote the American economy. In May, Donnelly released a white paper and proposed a series of policy recommendations intended to prevent and discourage the further offshoring of Hoosier and American jobs. The proposals would penalize those that offshore jobs to foreign countries and reward companies that invest in the U.S.\r\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://www.donnelly.senate.gov/newsroom/press/donnelly-rexnord-should-come-clean-explain-proposed-plans-to-ship-hoosier-jobs-to-mexico"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8735680021345615, "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"}
