WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) and Representatives Mark Pocan (WI-02), Jared Golden (ME-02), and Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05) have formed the Congressional Printing Caucus.

This bipartisan caucus will focus on advancing an agenda that protects America’s printing industry and its history in our communities.

“As the former owner and publisher of the Mid-York Press, a local commercial printing and manufacturing firm, I understand how the importance of print media and its impact on our communities and local businesses,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues in promoting the value of printing and its role in fostering an informed public. Together, we’ll work to support the printing industry, and make sure it has a voice here in Congress.”

“I’ve owned a small specialty printing shop for more than 35 years,” said Congressman Pocan. “I know firsthand the hard work that goes into running a small business like this. Because of that, I’m glad to help form the bipartisan Congressional Printing Caucus with Reps. Tenney, Golden, and Chavez-DeRemer to help advocate for small printers across the country, serving their own communities’ needs.”

“Over 3,000 Mainers are employed in the paper and printing industry, which also supports thousands of other jobs across the state,” said Congressman Golden. “These workers deserve a greater voice, which is why I’m honored to help form and co-chair the inaugural Congressional Printing Caucus. I’m eager to work together with the bipartisan members of this caucus to advocate for the paper and printing industry to ensure that workers from Madawaska to Westbrook have the seat at the table they need to keep their historic industry thriving.”

“I’m excited to serve as a co-chair of the new Congressional Printing Caucus, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to empower professionals in the printing industry,” said Congresswoman Chavez-DeRemer.
