Talking with One Voice

This week, your Washington team discusses what's going on in Congress lately, the status of COVID-19 legislation, the latest intel on the 2020 presidential race, and who each team member thinks may be Biden's VP pick.

In today's episode, your Washington team explores the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and future funding plans, how Governors are handling local responses, and what the pandemic means for the 2020 elections.

This week, your Washington team met remotely to discuss the federal legislative response to COVID-19 and how those programs are being implemented. In the second half of the program, we cover political impacts, particularly the 2020 presidential election.

Your Washington team met up this week (virtually!) to record an episode on all things COVID-19 and how this unprecedented situation impacts American manufacturing.  We cover the bipartisan legislative efforts for relief and their various stages, touch on manufacturing-specific concerns during the pandemic, refresh ourselves on the latest info from the presidential race, and more.

This week, the team connects to discuss the federal budget, what Nevada has revealed about the future of the democratic primaries, and how the Coronavirus is impacting the American economy and trade.

This week was a busy one in politics. Iowa districts are still submitting caucus results after a technical snafu on Monday, causing unique circumstances for Democratic presidential contenders in New Hampshire. Additionally, Tuesday's State of the Union address held many references to manufacturing initiatives, which we explore.

On this week's episode, the One Voice team in Washington breaks down what is – and isn't – happening in Congress as the Senate works its way through an impeachment trial.  What does a win for the President on trade mean for election 2020 and how will changing (positive!) American attitudes on manufacturing shape candidates' platforms across the board? 

In the first official episode of the Talking with One Voice podcast, your Washington team explores the progress and developments for manufacturing legislation in 2019 and Congressional priorities for 2020. Topics covered: tax, workforce development, and trade.
