Washington, D.C., March 13, 2017 – The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) presented Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN-08) the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence at an event hosted by BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT) in Mount Vernon, Indiana. “Congressman Bucshon has been a great champion in support of the defense industrial base. We at BWXT especially appreciate all he does to support the nuclear Navy,” said BWXT General Manager Gary Darter. “As a former Navy reservist, he is a true asset in Congress who really understands the requirements for our nation's submarines and aircraft carriers.” “Indiana is one of the country’s leading states in manufacturing,” said Rep. Bucshon. “The manufacturing industry is vital to the Hoosier economy and supports thousands of jobs here in the Eighth District. Therefore, it is absolutely critical that policies in Washington, D.C. help facilitate a climate for companies like BWX Technologies to continue their growth and support of our local communities. I’m proud to be recognized for my work to promote our strong manufacturing base in Congress.” “Manufacturers in Indiana and across the country are changing lives for the better—through the jobs we create and the products we make. Manufacturing is about improving the human condition, one innovation at a time,” said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons. “Rep. Bucshon is helping to make our success possible by standing with manufacturers when it matters and casting the right votes. “Manufacturers employ over 12 million men and women in the U.S., who are making everything from lifesaving medicines to the most cutting edge technology. The strength of manufacturing in America is responsible for the success of America in the world. When manufacturing succeeds, America succeeds, so Rep. Bucshon’s consistent support for manufacturing means he is supporting a better future for all Americans.” Key Votes included in the Voting Record are selected by small, medium and large manufacturing executives who serve on the NAM’s Key Vote Advisory Committee.
