U.S. Representative Ed Royce

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) has awarded U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) the NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence. The award is based on his voting record in the 113th Congress on issues that are critical to manufacturing in the United States.

“Manufacturing has long been the bedrock of a strong American economy as economic opportunity for all is grown through access to the good-paying jobs that manufacturers provide. I’ll continue to ensure our communities in Southern California remain home to innovative manufacturers that create cutting edge products made by American workers,” said Rep. Royce.

“Manufacturers in California and throughout the United States are making a comeback, creating jobs, making more products and making them better than ever before,” said NAM Senior Vice President of Policy and Government Relations Aric Newhouse. “However, manufacturers are often disproportionately impacted by decisions made by policymakers in Washington. The NAM is proud to stand with lawmakers like Congressman Royce who understand what is at stake and seek to implement policies that will foster innovation, growth and competitiveness.”

The NAM Award for Manufacturing Legislative Excellence honors members of Congress who demonstrate support for policies that enhance the ability of U.S. manufacturers to succeed in the global economy. In the 113th Congress, 278 lawmakers earned this distinction. Key votes included in NAM’s voting record are selected by executives from small, medium, and large manufactures who serve on the NAM’s Key Vote Advisory Committee.
