During the tour, Kuster reaffirmed her support for Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) companies like Cirtronics, discussed legislation she supports that would eliminate barriers that currently limit the formation of certain types of ESOPs, and answered questions from employees.\n\u201cCompanies like Cirtronics contribute so much to the Granite State economy by expanding the manufacturing base and creating high-skilled jobs for New Hampshire workers,\u201d said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. \u201cI have made it my number one priority in Congress to help support the creation of jobs and opportunity for New Hampshire families.\u00a0 I was so pleased to tour the facility and hear from employees directly about how Congress can continue to support their success.\u201d\nKuster recently cosponsored the Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act, which would streamline the process of establishing a new S corporation ESOP or expanding the employee-ownership stake in an S corporation.\nKuster\u2019s visit to Cirtronics was part of her ongoing \u201cCongress at Your Company\u201d series. \u00a0Since taking office, Kuster has visited New Hampshire businesses all over the state to hear how Congress can best support their success. As a member of the House Small Business Committee, Kuster has focused on efforts to foster job creation and support New Hampshire\u2019s manufacturing industry. She has supported a series of \u201cMake It In America\u201d proposals focused on reshoring jobs and reviving the U.S. manufacturing economy, and she has also fought to establish a Manufacturing Innovation Institute in New Hampshire.\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": ["http://kuster.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congresswoman-annie-kuster-discusses-efforts-to-boost-manufacturing"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.639838796108961, "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"}
