                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 28, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the individuals who 
served on the 6th Congressional District Manufacturing Advisory 
Committee.
  The members of the Advisory Committee met with my team regularly to 
discuss emerging manufacturing issues that are impacting Indiana. 
Manufacturing accounts for nearly one-third of the total GDP in Indiana 
and manufacturers employ more than a half of a million Hoosiers across 
our state. The Committee's valuable insight helped me better represent 
Hoosiers in the 6th Congressional District in Congress.
  I would like to thank all of the members of the Committee, including 
Jody Fledderman, John Meredith, Chris King, Whitney Foughty, Dominic 
Grote, John Linville, Kevin Ahaus, Lawrence McCormack, Lisa Kobe, Mike 
Wickersham, Ryan Hou, Sue Smith, Timothy Rushenberg, Tom Ryder, and 
Blair Wheat.
  I appreciate their service on the Advisory Committee and their 
dedication to making Indiana a better place to live for all Hoosiers. I 
wish all of them continued success in whatever God has in store for 
them and their families.

                          ____________________
