White House Spotlights NAM Tax Wins at Press Briefing Today

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recognized the NAM’s tax advocacy during today’s press briefing, citing the real-world stories of how manufacturers are putting H.R. 1 to work.

• “Thanks to the other pro-growth provisions in the working families tax cuts, like making the 20% small business tax deduction permanent and delivering 100% expensing for new factories, equipment and research, the Trump administration is setting up American manufacturers and workers to thrive like never before,” Leavitt said.

The flipbook: Leavitt pointed directly to the NAM’s newly released Manufacturing Tax Wins Across America flipbook.

• “Just this week, the National Association of Manufacturers, which is the largest manufacturing association in the country, released a detailed report showing exactly how these tax cuts are driving investment, job creation, innovation, and long-term growth in all 50 states,” she said.

The stories: From the White House podium, Leavitt highlighted several of the manufacturers featured in the NAM’s story collection:

• “Pivot Manufacturing in Arizona made the largest equipment purchase in company history after the Trump tax cuts gave them the long-term certainty to invest with confidence. Winton Machine Company in Georgia is on pace for the best year in its history. Ketchie Inc. in North Carolina was able to purchase new machinery and expand its workforce by 25%, and Jergens in Ohio expanded its brand-new facility to increase production and they’re also paying their workers even more thanks to the no tax on overtime provision,” she said.

Pro-growth policy: Leavitt emphasized that the stories demonstrate how pro-growth tax policy translates into greater opportunity for manufacturers, workers and communities.

• “These are not just great statistics. These are American businesses with the confidence to grow, hire, and invest right here at home rather than offshoring their jobs,” she said.

The bottom line: The high-profile recognition builds on the momentum behind the NAM’s popular new flipbook, featuring 50 stories from 50 states showing how the landmark tax law is driving investment, job creation, innovation and long-term success across the country.
