Bills to Ensure Congress Drives American-Made

U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin, both Democrats from Michigan, are teaming up on a new auto bill that they say would ensure taxpayer dollars better support workers and union jobs in the U.S.

They each introduced companion legislation in the House and Senate that would require members of Congress to drive American-made vehicles. It’s called the Make Congress Drive Union-Made Act.
 

Right now, members of Congress receive an annual budget to carry out duties, which can be used to acquire vehicles. Currently, there is no requirement for those vehicles to be American-made or assembled by union labor.
