Jon Husted (R-Ohio) joined Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael Duffey and GE Aerospace leadership at the company\u2019s Cincinnati headquarters to highlight GE Aerospace\u2019s work developing the next generation of engines for critical U.S. defense systems.\n\n\u201cOhioans at GE Aerospace are doing cutting-edge work right here at home that is essential to the defense and security of our country. I\u2019m grateful Under Secretary Duffey and I could see firsthand how GE Aerospace\u2019s engines\u2014developed and tested by Ohio engineers\u2014will be integrated into platforms like the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile. You can\u2019t do Made-in-America without Ohio and I\u2019m proud of these Ohio-based professionals\u2019 hard work develop the next generation of engines that will power mission critical platforms. This contract is a significant achievement for GE Aerospace and our nation\u2019s military,\u201d said Husted.\n\nGE Aerospace and Kratos\u2019 GEK800 engine, which received the U.S. military engine type designation F143, has been awarded an Engineering, Manufacturing and Development contract with the U.S. Air Force to be a second source propulsion system on the JASSM cruise missile, a munition that\u2019s been mission critical for our military.\n\nThe designation and contract mark significant achievements for the engine program, which is designed to provide small, low-cost, high-performance engines for use in cruise missiles and uncrewed aircraft.\n\nHusted has supported Ohio\u2019s defense manufacturing industry through legislation, including the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, which strengthens America\u2019s military and supports Ohio\u2019s critical role in the nation\u2019s defense industrial base.\n\nHusted also supported the Working Families Tax Cuts Act in July, which includes pro-growth policies that support investment in manufacturing states like Ohio:", 1, "2026-08-19T05:29:02Z", "2026-08-19T05:30:24Z"]], "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.husted.senate.gov/media/press-releases/husted-senior-pentagon-official-visit-ge-aerospace/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7469048723578453, "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"}
