Smith Receives Manufacturers’ Award
Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) has been named a recipient of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence. The award is based on his votes in the 113th Congress on issues critical to manufacturing in the United States.
Congressman Smith said, “I appreciate this recognition by the National Association of Manufacturers because of the important role manufacturing plays in economic growth and job creation in the Third District. I will continue working with our manufacturers to ensure federal policy does not undermine rural America’s success in serving the needs of domestic and foreign consumers.”
“Manufacturers in Nebraska 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. Smith who understand what is at stake and seek to implement policies that will foster innovation, growth and competitiveness.”
The National Association of Manufacturers is the largest manufacturing association in the United States, representing small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states. Manufacturing employs more than 12 million men and women, and contributes $2.08 trillion to the U.S. economy every year.
