New Legislation to Ensure Congress Drives American-Made, Union-Made Cars

Michigan lawmakers are pushing new legislation to make sure Congress drives American-made, union-made vehicles.

Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens introduced the Make Congress Drive Union- Made Act, with Senator Elissa Slotkin bringing a companion bill to the U.S. Senate.

Currently, members of Congress receive an annual budget to carry out official duties, which can be used to lease or acquire vehicles for official use.

Stevens says the bill would require Congress to spend taxpayer money only on vehicles made in America by union workers.

The United Auto Workers union endorsed the bill, calling it a stand for union jobs and Michigan values.
