Congressman Veasey, TX-33, Announces District Work Period “Make it in America” Agenda

April 10, 2014

Dallas/Fort Worth—As the House of Representatives adjourns for District Work Period from April 9-26, Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, will continue his push to ensure that families in the 33rd Congressional District have the tools and opportunities they need to “Make It In America.”

Congressman Veasey will meet with local businesses, tour manufacturing facilities, visit workforce development centers, and focus on strengthening partnerships between local businesses and community colleges in order to ensure students are being trained in the skills they will need to enter the workforce. On April 14, Veasey and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, MD-5, will tour Lasko Metal Products manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas.

This is part of Hoyer's "Make it in America" initiative to increase domestic manufacturing and Veasey’s goal to keep manufacturing jobs in DFW. The “Make It In America” plan focuses on creating the best conditions for American businesses to manufacture their products, innovate, and create jobs right here in the U.S. In addition, it creates an environment where our workforce receives the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century workforce.
