PUEBLO, CO—Congressman Scott Tipton (R-CO) has received the Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The award was given acknowledge Tipton’s work in Congress on behalf of issues that impact manufacturers across the 3rd Congressional District and nation. “One of the most direct ways we can stimulate economic growth and recovery in this nation is through increased American manufacturing,” said Tipton. “We have worked in Congress to increase trade opportunities for American goods and to advance policies that encourage and incentivize manufacturing here at home. From Pueblo to Grand Junction and throughout the district we have visited with manufacturers with incredibly diverse and cutting-edge capabilities that provide good paying jobs and opportunities in our communities. I want to see those types of opportunities expand, and am proud to continue to stand with manufacturers and small businesses for commonsense policies that put Americans back to work.” Tipton has worked with manufacturers across the 3rd District including EVRAZ, GCC, Rocla, and UTC Aerospace Systems in Pueblo and Lewis Engineering, CAPCO, Leitner-Poma and Ross Reels on the West Slope, to identify issues and ways the federal government can work to foster economic growth and increased U.S. manufacturing. Additionally, Tipton has held numerous manufacturing roundtables and job fairs in the district, and championed pro-growth policies in the House Committee on Small Business to expand opportunities for U.S. manufactured goods in the global marketplace. “Manufacturers in Colorado and throughout the United States are making a comeback, creating jobs, making more products and making them better than ever before,” said NAM Senior Vice President of Policy and Government Relations Aric Newhouse. “However, manufacturers are often disproportionately impacted by decisions made by policymakers in Washington. The NAM is proud to stand with lawmakers like Rep. Scott Tipton who understand what is at stake and seek to implement policies that will foster innovation, growth and competitiveness.” Background courtesy of NAM: Key Votes included in the Voting Record are selected by small, medium and large manufacturing executives who serve on the NAM’s Key Vote Advisory Committee.
