Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Budget, Spending and Taxes

Congressman Dan Kildee, Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, issued the following statement today after the state of Michigan, with federal dollars passed by Congress through the American Rescue Plan, announced infrastructure investments that will enable Hemlock Semiconductor to expand their operations in mid-Michigan, creating 170 new jobs:

"Thanks to new federal laws I helped pass, like the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, we are supporting major economic development projects that are creating good-paying jobs. We are proud to have Hemlock Semiconductor in mid-Michigan and thrilled to see the company's proposed expansion of its manufacturing operations here in the Saginaw area. Hemlock's planned investment will boost our state's manufacturing capabilities, help to fix supply chain issues and support high-wage jobs for Michiganders. In Congress, I will continue working to bring back manufacturing jobs to mid-Michigan."
