Earlier this year, Rosendale sided with China by voting against bolstering domestic manufacturing through the CHIPS Act

Helena, MT – As President Biden travels to Michigan today to highlight how the CHIPS Act is already helping spur investment in American manufacturing, create good-paying jobs here in the U.S., and maintain America’s competitive edge over China, Montana Democratic Party Executive Director Sheila Hogan released the following statement blasting the sole Montanan who voted against the bipartisan CHIPS Act.

“With the CHIPS Act, Senator Jon Tester and President Biden are helping create good-paying jobs and bring manufacturing back home to lower costs for families – no thanks to Rep. Matt Rosendale who sided with China over working families here in Montana.”

The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act includes $52 billion for computer chips and public wireless supply chain innovation, developing and expanding chip manufacturing efforts in the U.S, as well as additional funding for further research and development. Senator Tester has been Montana’s leading champion for China competitiveness legislation and was the only member of the state’s delegation appointed to the legislation’s conference committee tasked with crafting the final version of the bill.
