Workers Assistance
Dear Friends,
As a fifth-generation Janesville native, this has been a personally devastating year for our community. My thoughts and prayers are with the workers and their families, many of whom I’ve grown up with and am still close friends with. The job losses resulting from General Motors’ decision to end production of their current product at the Janesville Assembly Plant get at the heart of our current economic crisis.
I am encouraged by the tireless work of state and local leaders who have offered a comprehensive incentives package to GM to bring another product to the plant. GM and local officials have continued their dialogue in keeping GM in Janesville, and I am hopeful that their talks will be successful.
Joining Members of Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation, state and local officials, and union leadership, I have aggressively sought to secure federal assistance and benefits for Janesville workers adversely impacted by GM’s decision. The links below provide helpful online resources for those directly impacted by layoffs in Southern Wisconsin. Should you need additional assistance in connecting with these local, state, and federal organizations, please call my office at 1-888-909-RYAN (7926).
Inspired by your efforts to support each other during these difficult economic times, I will continue to fight for pro-growth, commonsense economic reforms and serve as an advocate on your behalf. Knowing the spirit and strength of those I serve, I remain firmly optimistic that Janesville’s best days are ahead.
Sincerely,
Paul Ryan
Serving Wisconsin's 1st District
