This collaboration is vital to help small-and medium-sized manufacturers grow by streamlining operations, develop new products and customers, expand and diversify markets, adopt new technology, and enhance value within supply chains while reducing their risk. In 2024 alone, the MEP program saved Oregon manufacturers $24 million and allowed them to create or retain 1,400 jobs across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Trump Administration moved to eliminate the MEP program earlier this year,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/salinas.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/oregon-delegation-condemns-trump-administrations-decision-eliminate-key\">Salinas led the Oregon delegation<\/a>&nbsp;in condemning&nbsp;the decision and urgently pressed&nbsp;U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to change course. Earlier in June,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/x.com\/SenJeffMerkley\/status\/1929986700035711248__;!!Bg5easoyC-OII2vlEqY8mTBrtW-N4OJKAQ!Pb3uS6-YWkkdcs0mWYbF1bWr9-eSvWHTiaKgmTMdq972eApPLRgsqfL_xjtTAp495ZY6dfbRUagVGhRlXtNz_OieQZIyeHuh4vFyI24m750M$\">Merkley joined OMEP<\/a>&nbsp;to hear directly from Oregon companies about how OMEP helps manufacturers grow and innovate. In a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/M3icUlK2XME\">Merkley doubled down on urging Secretary Lutnick<\/a>&nbsp;to support Oregon and American manufacturers by continuing the MEP program. This sustained pressure from Merkley,&nbsp;Salinas,&nbsp;and the Oregon delegation caused the Commerce Department to reverse the elimination of the MEP program and release&nbsp;initial&nbsp;critical federal funding needed to support American manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cLet the protection of the MEP program be a lesson\u2014standing up&nbsp;for the federal funding serving our communities is effective and imperative,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Merkley.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cIt\u2019s clear that when Oregon\u2019s manufacturing industry does well, all Oregonians benefit. The release of this federal funding means the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership can continue to provide local manufacturers with the support they need to grow, stay competitive in the global marketplace, and keep the engine of our economy going strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am glad to see funding restored for the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership (OMEP), which plays a crucial role in our local economy, supporting good-paying jobs and ensuring that small and medium-sized businesses across the state can innovate and thrive,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Salinas.<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8220;I led my Oregon delegation colleagues in a letter condemning the Trump Administration&#8217;s decision to eliminate this funding. Now, our manufacturers can continue building a stronger future for all Oregonians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake no mistake, battling for Oregon manufacturers and the local jobs with good wages they generate in our communities will always be a top priority,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Wyden.&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cOur state\u2019s manufacturers have earned this federal investment with their record of success. And I\u2019m glad the teamwork with our delegation and manufacturers has produced this win that restored our state\u2019s fair share of investment in this business sector and the Oregonians who work in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOregon\u2019s small- and medium-sized manufacturers are&nbsp;a critical part of&nbsp;our state\u2019s economy, and they&nbsp;thrive when they have&nbsp;consistent, high-quality support to&nbsp;help them grow and stay&nbsp;competitive,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Bonamici.&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m pleased that NIST reversed course and&nbsp;restored&nbsp;funding for MEP Centers, including a five-year cooperative agreement&nbsp;with&nbsp;Oregon\u2019s&nbsp;OMEP. This decision will give&nbsp;OMEP&nbsp;the stability it needs to keep delivering critical services,&nbsp;including&nbsp;workforce development, supply chain assistance, and process modernization. I\u2019ll continue fighting to strengthen domestic manufacturing and support the workers and businesses that power it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m proud that this critical manufacturing program was protected after strong advocacy from our delegation,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>dijo Hoyle.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cIt supports good-paying jobs, helps small manufacturers grow, and strengthens local economies across Oregon. This is exactly the kind of investment we need to support working-class people and keep Oregon\u2019s economy moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership has a proven track record of strengthening our state\u2019s manufacturing sector, creating good-paying jobs, and helping small and mid-sized manufacturers compete in an increasingly complicated global economy,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>Dexter said.&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cI am grateful for Senator Merkley and Representative Salinas\u2019 leadership in demanding Trump reverse the reckless decision to eliminate this critical program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Trump Administration\u2019s decision to eliminate the MEP program earlier this year was harmful to our economy and extremely misguided \u2013 so we fought it, and we won,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Bynum.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cThis funding will provide local manufacturers with the support they need to continue creating jobs for our communities and ensure that our local businesses come out on top.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oregon delegation is encouraged by the Administration\u2019s decision to continue investing in American manufacturing, and the lawmakers look forward to the Commerce Department\u2019s ongoing support for this critical industry.&nbsp;Oregon manufacturers contribute nearly $40 billion to the state\u2019s economy and support over 175,000 good paying jobs, and OMEP plays a significant role in the manufacturing sector\u2019s success. According to OMEP, their efforts support 530 businesses across the entire state, and it has delivered $3.9 billion in direct economic impact over the past 10 years.&nbsp;In 2024 alone, OMEP leveraged $2.2 million in funding to support $165.6 million in private investment\u2014a 75:1 return on investment for U.S. taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of OMEP, I want to extend my sincere thanks to Senator Jeff Merkley, his team, and the entire Oregon congressional delegation for their steadfast support in securing one year of federal funding through the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Mike Vanier, OMEP President.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cWithout their advocacy, this funding would have most likely been cut, but their efforts reflect a strong, ongoing commitment to supporting small and medium-sized manufacturers across Oregon. This investment ensures we can continue delivering expert consulting services to help manufacturers improve performance, grow sales, strengthen their workforce, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving global market. We are deeply grateful for their leadership and dedication to Oregon\u2019s manufacturing community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Merkley, Salinas Led Charge to Stop Elimination of Key Program for Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership Washington, D.C. \u2013&nbsp;Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley&nbsp;and U.S. Representative Andrea&nbsp;Salinas&nbsp;(OR-06) announced today, alongside the Oregon delegation\u2014Senator Ron Wyden and Representatives Suzanne&nbsp;Bonamici&nbsp;(OR-01),&nbsp;Val&nbsp;Hoyle&nbsp;(OR-04), Maxine&nbsp;Dexter&nbsp;(OR-03), and&nbsp;Janelle&nbsp;Bynum&nbsp;(OR-05)\u2014that&nbsp;$2,217,708 is heading to the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership (OMEP),&nbsp;which&nbsp;ensures the program can continue to support local manufacturers [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":18847,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[118,44,47],"class_list":["post-22555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases","tag-delivering-for-oregon","tag-jobs-and-the-economy","tag-protecting-consumers-taxpayers-and-the-economy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
