The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) yesterday awarded Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence at an event hosted by NAM member Marathon Petroleum Corporation in Findlay, Ohio.

“We are pleased to join NAM in recognizing Congressman Latta for his public service and for advocating a policy agenda that helps manufacturers across America compete in the global economy and create jobs,” said Pamela K. M. Beall, senior vice president, Corporate Planning, Government and Public Affairs, Marathon Petroleum Corporation. “Congressman Latta and his wife, Dr. Marcia Sloan-Latta, continue to be great ambassadors of the citizens of Ohio’s 5th Congressional District.” 

“I am proud to represent nearly 60,000 manufacturing jobs in Ohio’s Fifth Congressional District,” said Congressman Bob Latta. “Manufacturing is critical to both Ohio and the United States’ economy, and ensuring the industry remains globally competitive and free from unnecessary regulations are top priorities. I am honored to receive this recognition from the National Association of Manufacturers and look forward to continuing to work with them and industry leaders, like Marathon Petroleum Corporation, to promote policies that encourage growth and development within this dynamic industry.”

“Manufacturing in Ohio and across the country is making a comeback,” said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons. “Manufacturers are growing the economy and creating high-paying jobs in a sector that adds $1.32 to the economy for every $1 spent. Congressman Latta understands that leaders in Washington must advance policies that will continue to fuel this economic growth and has consistently supported manufacturers through his votes in Congress.”         

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. Additional information on the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence can be found here.
