Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement in reaction to President Joe Biden’s executive order that will strengthen American manufacturing:
“President Biden’s Buy American executive order signals the renewal of our federal government’s commitment to not just rebuilding, but reimagining the tools needed to beat this pandemic and recover stronger. From upstate manufacturing hubs to New York City, New Yorkers are ready to ramp up production of quality American-made products that will ensure our victory over COVID-19, and a shared future where the dignity and labor of all Americans is respected. I look forward to working with the Biden administration to deliver good-paying union jobs for our country and our state.”
