WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., today received the National Association of Manufacturers’ award for “Manufacturing Legislative Excellence” in recognition of his strong record of support for the industry.

“Strong manufacturing means a strong U.S. economy,” Wicker said. “I am honored to accept this award, and I appreciate the work of the National Association of Manufacturers to support policies that help American industries.  This Congress and Administration have already demonstrated a commitment to easing unnecessary regulations, reducing tax burdens for job creators, and building a thriving economy that works for all Americans.  I look forward to continuing this record of support for U.S. workers and job creators.”
