Two Congressman Honored by Manufacturers Group

U.S. Reps Howard “Buck” McKeon and Elton Gallegly received the Manufacturing Legislative Excellence for their support of the manufacturing industry. The National Association of Manufacturers gives the award to members of Congress supporting key manufacturing votes 70 percent or more of the time, as determined by an NAM member-led advisory committee comprised of both small and large manufacturers. McKeon, a Republican representing the Antelope Valley, had a 95 percent voting record. Gallegly, a Republican from Ventura County, had an 85 percent voting record. In a time of increasing economic uncertainty, the support of McKeon and Gallegly demonstrates an understanding of the importance of manufacturing to the economy, NAM President John Engler said.
