House Democrats Explore “Make It In America: What’s Next?” Over the August District Work Period

In conjunction with the Make It In America plan, Rep. Veasey hosted a "Marc Means Business" event at the headquarters of Alcon, a leader in the eye care industry. Rep. Veasey learned more about the tools that U.S. based manufacturers use to produce quality goods, as well as the global distribution process.

"‘Alcon's growth from a small ophthalmic shop to a global leader in the eye care industry can serve as an example for other local businesses. U.S. companies can expand their operations and extend opportunities for their employees and for the communities they operate in. My work day at Alcon helps me better understand how Congress can best support American manufacturers, so they can continue to produce quality goods here in the USA,' Congressman Veasey said."
