Meadows Mills president Bob Hege presented the award to Foxx at the ceremony, where he was joined by a crowd of approximately 100, including local government and Chamber of Commerce officials. “It is a true honor to receive this recognition for my work in Congress,” Rep. Foxx said. “Manufacturing is vital to Wilkes County and the entire Fifth District and I promise to continue to fight to preserve our local manufacturing base.” The NAM award is presented to members of Congress for their strong support of the manufacturing industry, in addition to the National Association of Manufactures’ pro-growth, pro-manufacturing agenda. It is given only to federal lawmakers whose voting records have consistently supported manufacturing in America. NAM is an industry associated that works to promote the competitiveness of manufacturers across the United States. |
