ICYMI: I had the honor of serving on the #AmericaCOMPETES Act conference committee last week. This bipartisan + bicameral committee is focused on boosting America into a future of self-sufficient manufacturing. I hope to bring jobs and major industries to #FL9. My remarks ⬇️
America succeeds when we make more critical goods right here at home.
American families are relying on us to combat shortages and bolster supply chains so that they can access the everyday goods they need to get by.
We need the bipartisan #AmericaCOMPETES Act.
Rochester is filled with untapped potential to lead the way in global innovation. As I continue my work on the Conference Committee for #AmericaCOMPETES and #USICA, I will fight to ensure investment in regional innovation opportunities to support communities like #ROC.
The bicameral Conference Committee on the #AmericaCOMPETES Act and USICA met to discuss this critical package, which will include my CHIPS for America Act — which will establish a roadmap for reasserting American leadership in the strategically important semiconductor industry.
I’ll continue to work hard to create new opportunities for American companies to enter the market and compete, and I’m excited to work with this committee to continue our bipartisan progress and secure America’s position as the global pacesetter for innovation.
I kicked off the #AmericaCOMPETES #USICA conference today by emphasizing the need for robust funding in our domestic semiconductor industry and strong cyber protections for our supply chains.
I look forward to working on a final bill that reasserts our position as a global leader in manufacturing, technology, research, and innovation.
Joining my fellow House and Senate conferees today to begin negotiations on #AmericaCOMPETES & #USICA.
I'm ready to work to deliver legislation that invests strongly in chip manufacturing & supports domestic supply chains, creates jobs and bolsters American competitiveness.
Thank you Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY-20) and Rep. A. Donald McEachin (D-VA-4) for supporting our provision to overturn the 10-year offshore wind leasing moratorium off the coasts of NC, SC, GA, and FL during conference negotiations for the #BipartisanInnovationAct.
I'm honored to serve on the Conference Committee to advance #AmericaCOMPETES and #USICA. Today, we began our negotiations—I look forward to the work ahead to strengthen America's global competitiveness, grow our economic interests, and bolster our workforce.
Today, we kicked off the first meeting of the #AmericaCOMPETES and #USICA conference!
