Today, Representative Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) – Co-Chair of the bipartisan House Auto Caucus – released the following statement on Ford’s plan to invest $1.5 billion to build an electric vehicle plant in Lorain County.
“Just as it always has, the future of American automotive excellence will be built in Ohio by Ohio’s workers,” said Rep. Kaptur. “Bringing nearly 2,000 union jobs, Ford’s investment represents an exciting step forward for the hardworking Middle Class families of our region. As the industry evolves with new electric vehicle technology, we must be ready to evolve with it. I will continue fighting for the workforce development and training programs that are necessary for workers to be ready for these in-demand, good-paying jobs.
