Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) was presented with the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence at an event held Friday morning in Findlay. The honor was provided based on Latta’s voting record supporting manufacturing from the past Congress. The event was held at Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, one of the largest manufacturers in Latta’s district. “I’m honored to receive this award from the National Association of Manufacturers because it confirms the commitment I’ve made to support policies that strengthen our manufacturing sector,” said Latta. “In my district, with more than 60,000 people working in the manufacturing field, the success of our regional economy relies on manufacturers that can innovate, grow, and create jobs. I’m proud to stand with the hardworking men and women making the products that keep America running.” “Manufacturers in Ohio 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. Latta is helping to make our success possible by standing with manufacturers when it matters and casting the right votes.
