Great to join @johnbstanford on the @MakingMedPod to talk about how to drive American innovation and make healthcare more affordable for manufacturers and their workers. 

📻Tune in to hear how PBM reform, 340B transparency, and continued regulatory certainty from the FDA will keep the workforce at full strength while lowering the cost of healthcare.

Manufacturers have urged the administration to phase out the SEC's costly and unworkable conflict minerals mandate. @ShopfloorNAM thanks @FinancialCmte Chairman @RepFrenchHill and @RepHuizenga for their work to reduce disclosure burdens for publicly traded manufacturers. https://t.co/Wqt1LvtPNi

The recommendations from @MigrationPolicy reflect manufacturers' needs. For years, manufacturers have called for commonsense, merit-based immigration reform that strengthens the manufacturing workforce and benefits the U.S. economy.

In particular, as @ShopFloorNAM said in our letter to @SECGov earlier this year, reforming the non-accelerated filer definition to protect more small, mid-size, and newly public companies will encourage capital formation and drive manufacturing growth, investment, and job creation.

Today's proposals from the @SECGov are directly responsive to @ShopFloorNAM's priorities: reducing regulatory burdens and making it easier for small and mid-size companies to access capital on the public market.

[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission @SECGov]

TODAY 🚨: The SEC proposes transformative reforms to help public companies conduct registered offerings & simplify reporting requirements.

These reforms are designed to increase efficiency, flexibility, & cost savings for public companies.

.@ShopfloorNAM is a proud supporter of World IP Day—because robust IP protections empower manufacturers in the U.S. to innovate and compete, driving job creation here at home and competitiveness on the world stage.

[SBE Council @SBECouncil]

ICYMI: 💡April 26 was WORLD IP DAY💡 From science to sports, IP is the foundation upon which small businesses can build, innovate and grow! Thank you to all our partners who are helping to deliver this message to Congress and the White House not only on World IP Day, but every day!

Manufacturers thank @FinancialCmte for advancing @RepBryanSteil's Protecting Americans' Retirement Savings from Politics Act, which brings urgently needed oversight to politically motivated proxy firms threatening Americans' retirement savings.

[Financial Services GOP @FinancialCmte]

@RepBryanSteil @RepAnnWagner H.R. 8286, the Protecting Americans’ Retirement Savings from Politics Act, by @RepBryanSteil passed 27-24.

[Charles Crain @CCrainNAM]

Honored to speak to @GOPoversight today to talk about how AI is transforming manufacturing and creating new opportunities for growth and innovation in our industry.

[Charles Crain @CCrainNAM]

Manufacturers support responsible and commonsense modernizations to the Clean Air Act as part of comprehensive permitting reform efforts in Congress. In a recent report released by @ShopFloorNAM in partnership with @JoinFAI, nearly 73% of manufacturers must obtain Clean Air Act permits to proceed with planned projects. Overall, the U.S. manufacturing sector has incurred an average annual permitting burden of at least $7.9 billion. If we want to grow America’s economy, we need to fix this broken system, which involves modernizing the Clean Air Act. @HouseCommerce

Manufacturers have long called for Congress to counter the threat that proxy firms’ outsized influence poses to everyday Americans’ retirement savings. @ShopFloorNAM thanks @RepBryanSteil for introducing the Protecting Americans’ Retirement Savings from Politics Act to rein in the proxy advisor duopoly. @FinancialCmte

[Bryan Steil @RepBryanSteil]

🚨It’s time to rein in the proxy advisor duopoly🚨

The Protecting Americans’ Retirement Savings from Politics Act will end the politicization of your retirement, ensure transparency, and restore accountability.

This Tax Day, manufacturers now have a permanent, pro-growth tax code that allows our industry to compete and win. Thanks to President Trump, leaders in his Cabinet and in Congress, the 2017 provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act were not just made permanent—they were made even stronger, which saved 6 million jobs. The tax and investment incentives in H.R. 1 amount to the most significant economic transformation in the history of our industry, serving as rocket fuel for manufacturers. #ManufacturingWins

On @MorningsMaria, @GOPMajorityWhip highlights how the Working Families Tax Cuts provides a permanent, pro-growth tax code that is supporting manufacturers like Ultra Machining Company as they invest in the future. #ManufacturingWins @MariaBartiromo

[The NAM @ShopFloorNAM]

If Congress had failed to preserve tax reform in 2025, the U.S. would have risked nearly 6 million jobs. @JayTimmonsNAM shared on @MorningsMaria how Congress and @POTUS delivered for manufacturers with a tax law that empowers small business to invest and grow. #ManufacturingWins @MariaBartiromo

“Thanks to the pro-growth tax policies of H.R. 1, manufacturers in Minnesota and across the country are ready to reach new heights. With his vote for this historic legislation, @RepFinstad took action to secure a permanent tax code that empowers small businesses – the backbone of America’s communities. The NAM looks forward to continuing to work with Congressman Finstad to modernize regulations, unleash American energy and grow our workforce so we can drive growth and innovation for generations to come.” – @nhstef
