Thompson Receives National Association of Manufacturers' Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence

Press Release

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) awarded Congressman Glenn "GT' Thompson (PA-05) the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence at an event hosted by NAM member Domtar Corporation in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania.

"Manufacturing in Pennsylvania and across the country is making a comeback," said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons. "Manufacturers are growing the economy and creating high-paying jobs in a sector that adds $1.32 to the economy for every $1 spent. Representative Thompson understands that leaders in Washington must advance policies that will continue to fuel this economic growth and has consistently supported manufacturers through his votes in Congress."

"It is truly an honor to be recognized by the National Association of Manufacturers," said Thompson. "Since being elected to Congress, I have made it a priority to support legislation that is good for American manufacturing, and good for job creation throughout Pennsylvania's Fifth Congressional District. In the 114th Congress, I remain committed to advancing common sense proposals to help strengthen the vital manufacturing sector."
