Moran, Shaheen Lead Bipartisan Congressional Delegation to Paris Air Show", "2025-06-11", "2025", "2025-06", "Republican", "Senate", "KS", "Jerry Moran", "M000934", "www.moran.senate.gov", "moran", "https://www.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases", "scraper", "WASHINGTON \u2013 U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) \u2013 a senior member of the Senate Commerce and Appropriations Committees \u2013 and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) \u2013 a senior member of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees \u2013 are leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to France to participate in the Paris Air Show, which will run from June 16 to June 22 and feature aerospace and defense manufacturers from Kansas, New Hampshire and across the United States. Sens. Moran and Shaheen have led bipartisan congressional delegations to Europe for the Paris and Farnborough air shows since 2023 to highlight these capabilities.\n\n\u201cThe United States is the leader in aircraft manufacturing with many of the planes and parts passing through the Air Capital of the World,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cLast year, Kansas had its largest representation at the Farnborough Air Show, and I look forward to surpassing those numbers this year at the Paris Air Show where we will showcase the United States\u2019 leadership in the aerospace and defense industries. I\u2019m pleased to co-lead a congressional delegation with Senator Shaheen to the air show and defense forum to demonstrate American innovation and manufacturing excellence and engage with industry leaders from around the world. As China continues to exert its aggression on democratic countries and Russia prolongs its unjust war in Ukraine, the U.S. must partner with our allies to bolster our national security and promote economic partnerships.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Paris Air Show is the world\u2019s largest, and it marks an exciting opportunity for businesses across New Hampshire and New England to showcase their innovative capabilities on a global stage and connect with new markets,\u201d said Sen. Shaheen. \u201cNew Hampshire is home to a robust defense and aerospace sector, and we take seriously our role in strengthening America\u2019s national security and readiness. This know-how and our strong defense industrial base are particularly important right now as we confront rising threats from adversaries including China and Russia. Unfortunately, our manufacturers are experiencing severe disruptions as a result of this administration\u2019s tariffs and our allies are questioning our commitment to mutual defense. That\u2019s why it\u2019s especially important for this bipartisan delegation to reaffirm that America remains a reliable, stable partner and that our capabilities remain unmatched \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what we intend to do.\u201d\n\nJoining Sens. Moran and Shaheen are U.S. Senators Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.). A group of lawmakers from the House of Representatives will also join the senators as participants in the defense forum.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:34:38Z"]], "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.moran.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=CB3D99F9-29EA-4526-AF90-4869BE055996"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5128781087696552, "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"}
