Coffman Receives Award from National Association of ManufacturersU.S. Representative Mike Coffman (CO-06) today was awarded the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence based on his votes in the 114th Congress on issues critical to manufacturing in the United States. Coffman received the award during a presentation at Altec, Inc. in Aurora, CO. “Manufacturing is critically important to the United States,” Coffman said. “Despite all the global challenges U.S. manufacturers face, we still make the best and most innovative products in the world. American ingenuity and the American workforce is an unbeatable combination, which is why I fully support manufacturing and am honored to receive this award.” “Manufacturing in Colorado 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. Coffman is helping to make our success possible by standing with manufacturers when it matters and casting the right votes.” “Manufacturing remains an important element to improving economic growth and job opportunities in the U.S,” said Chairman and CEO of Altec, Inc. Lee Styslinger III. “We are proud to help recognize congressional representatives like Congressman Mike Coffman for his outstanding voting record on key legislation that benefits U.S. workers.”
According to NAM’s website, NAM is the largest manufacturing association in the United States and represents manufacturers of all sizes in every industrial sector and in all 50 states. Manufacturing employs more than 12 million people and contributes more than $2.7 trillion annually to the U.S. economy. “American manufacturers are facing challenging times,” Coffman continued. “Burdensome regulations imposed by the current Administration often make it harder for manufacturers to do business or to compete successfully in the global markets. I will continue to take steps to improve the regulatory environment for our businesses and to ensure greater opportunities for American manufacturing.” 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.
