Today we\u2019re celebrating the contributions of all the workers across Michigan who help keep us at the very forefront of innovation. It\u2019s because of you that our state is known around the world as the backbone of American manufacturing.\n\n\u201cThis year, we have a lot to celebrate. Working with President Biden, we\u2019ve been able to get multiple bills signed into law to bolster manufacturing and enter a new era of American ingenuity.\n\n\u201cI was proud to lead the charge to boost American manufacturing of semiconductor chips, including for our auto sector, in the CHIPS and Science Act \u2013 which is a game changer for Michigan and our manufacturing sector.\n\n\u201cNow that President Biden has signed the CHIPS Act into law, the federal government has made a significant new investment to bring chip manufacturing back home to America, strengthen our supply chains, support well-paying jobs, lower costs for families, and bolster our national security. The law also makes needed investments in research and development for cutting-edge scientific advancements, which will pave the way for the innovations and inventions of the future.\n\n\u201cI also helped enact the Inflation Reduction Act, which will boost domestic manufacturing and accelerate development of clean energy. This law helps build American clean energy supply chains, increases tax incentives aimed to bolster manufacturing of American-made products, which will create millions of American jobs.\n\n\u201cAnd thanks to these efforts, manufacturing jobs haven\u2019t just rebounded after pandemic losses \u2013 they\u2019ve surged. Companies from around the world are committed to building and expanding their manufacturing footprints in the United States because we\u2019ve shown that we\u2019re entering a new era of innovation. I strongly believe that you can\u2019t be a great country if you don\u2019t actually make things \u2013 and with these historic investments in American workers, we\u2019re cementing our place as global leaders in manufacturing for years to come.\n\n\u201cSo to all the workers in Michigan and across the United States: thank you. Thank you for all of your hard work that you do to support our communities and our country. I\u2019ll always fight for you and for good-paying manufacturing jobs in our state.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:20:33Z"]], "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.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/video-peters-commemorates-manufacturing-day-and-honors-michigan-manufacturers-and-workers"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.340971026569605, "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"}
