Last week, Donnelly called on Rexnord to come clean and explain its proposed plan after the company\u2019s CEO declined to speak with Senator Donnelly for over a month.\r\nDonnelly said, \u201cThis news is extremely disappointing, particularly for the hard-working Hoosier families whose lives will be upended. I stand with these workers and am ready to help them however possible as they try to provide for their families. If Rexnord is going to upend the lives of\u00a0hundreds of Hoosier families, the least they can do is come clean about chasing cheap wages abroad.\u201d\r\nAfter Rexnord announced almost a month ago that it had \u201ctentatively\u201d decided to move its Indianapolis operation to Mexico, Donnelly said\u00a0he 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,\u00a0Donnelly released a white paper and proposed a series of policy recommendations intended to prevent and discourage\u00a0the further offshoring of Hoosier and American jobs. The recommendations were sent to the Senate Finance Committee for consideration. 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-statement-on-rexnord-decision-to-ship-hoosier-jobs-to-mexico"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8785719983279705, "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"}
