Rep. Susie Lee Joins New House Democratic Manufacturing Working Group
WASHINGTON – T0day, Rep. Susie Lee (NV-03) announced she has joined a new House Democratic Manufacturing Working Group to examine key issues for strengthening the American manufacturing sector. The new working group was launched today by House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (SC-06) and Representative Haley Stevens (MI-11).
In the wake of a global pandemic, the working group will aim to drive economic recovery and ensure that manufacturers, especially small and medium firms, can compete globally.
Additionally, the working group will explore efforts to increase supply chain security, worker training, good-paying jobs, and environmental sustainability.
"I'm thrilled to join the House Democratic Manufacturing Working Group," said Rep. Susie Lee. "As we recover from the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic and rebuild our economy, Nevada must seriously recommit to diversifying our economy. Changes in the workforce, new technologies, and shifts in the global marketplace have created an inflection point for the U.S. manufacturing economy, and policymakers must come together to meet the moment by rebuilding a leading manufacturing economy. I am committed to doing everything I can to bring good-paying jobs to Nevada, and I'm confident we can do that in the manufacturing sector."
The house Democratic Manufacturing Working Group will collaborate with key stakeholders to restore and transform American manufacturing, protect supply chains, and ensure that domestic manufacturing can compete and lead in a 21st century economy.
The three major areas of focus will include:
- Workforce development, economic recovery, and access to capital
- Climate and sustainability
- Trade, access to markets, and the Export-Import Bank
