According to GM, the Innovation Center serves as a hub for software development, IT operations, and connected vehicle technologies.\n\n\u201cReckless Washington policies are hurting our state\u2019s economy. The Republicans\u2019 Big Ugly Bill and the President\u2019s reckless tariffs are directly to blame for the termination of hundreds of Georgia jobs at the GM Innovation Center. Folks in Washington are working for billionaires and special interests, not hard-working Georgians. I will always fight to protect pro-business tax credits and smart tariff policies.\u201d\n\nIn his first term, Senator Warnock helped pass historic policies that spurred a new age of domestic manufacturing and increased demand for high-tech electric vehicles, including creating a $7,500 tax credit for American-made EVs and growing the nation\u2019s charging network. President Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill, supported unanimously by Georgia\u2019s Governor and Republican Congressional delegation, rolled back key industry-boosting tax credits and policies, while the President illegally withheld money for states to grow their EV charging networks. These reckless policies not only harmed GM, but also Georgia-employer Hyundai, whose South Georgia Mega-site will manufacture EVs.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "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.warnock.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warnock-statement-on-closure-of-gm-ga-innovation-center/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1030002497136593, "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"}
