the NAM is committed to engaging with the Harris–Walz campaign to hear their economic vision, find common ground and educate the candidates on the policies need- ed to advance a manufacturing competitiveness agen- da—as we will with federal candidates and campaigns at all levels. We are counting on the next administration to champion the 13 million people who make their living in modern manufacturing. “As a former teacher, Gov.

Tim Walz will be the Democratic nominees for president and vice president, National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons released the following statement: “When manufacturing is strong, America is strong.
