During the hearing, Kuster, Hoyer, and a number of their colleagues discussed new proposals to be included in the Make It in America initiative, which is a series of bills focused on reviving U.S. manufacturing by training a 21st century workforce, encouraging innovation, and supporting local manufacturers. All across the Granite State, innovative manufacturing companies are harnessing new tools to bring the states manufacturing industry into the 21st Century. During this important hearing, I discussed steps we must take on the federal level to support the success of these companies, so they can continue to create more jobs and opportunity for our workers, said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. From expanding access to skill training for prospective workers, to creating public-private partnerships and locating a regional manufacturing institute in New Hampshire, revitalizing our manufacturing industry is not a partisan issue. Im proud to support the Make It In America initiative, and I urge my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to come together and swiftly pass these bills into law. During the hearing, Members from all across the country highlighted their plans to modernize and revitalize Americas manufacturing industry. A strong advocate for increased manufacturing opportunities in the Granite State, Kuster outlined her own thoughts on how to move the countrys industry forward. Her plans included: increasing access to education and workforce development programs so workers can obtain the skills they need to enter 21st century manufacturing jobs; locating a regional manufacturing institute in New Hampshire; and improving our nations aging transportation infrastructure to ensure modern manufacturers can easily transport their goods. Congresswoman Kuster has made job creation and economic opportunity one of her top priorities since taking office. The first bill she introduced in Congress would provide tax incentives for companies who partner with community colleges to develop skill-specific training programs for students. Kuster has visited scores of manufacturing businesses through her Congress-At-Your-Company series, and shes pushed for a number of proposals that would help spur innovation in the state and support the creation of new manufacturing jobs. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
