Dear John,
We’re bringing microchip manufacturing back to America! I’m proud to share that our bipartisan bill, co-led with Republicans like Congressman Michael McCaul, was signed into law by President Biden! The bipartisan Building Chips in America Act will streamline federal permitting for microchip projects while maintaining environmental protections for clean air and water.
I helped pass the CHIPS and Science Act in 2022, which has helped boost high-tech manufacturing. Companies throughout the semiconductor supply chain have announced plans to invest billions in new domestic manufacturing projects, including many here in Texas.
In order for Texas to continue leading in semiconductor chip research and manufacturing, we must ensure these projects can get approved in a timely manner. The Building Chips in America will do just that, and create good paying jobs.
Congress is at our best when we find common ground. I’m grateful to the coalition of Republicans and Democrats we brought together to pass this legislation into law. I look forward to seeing its impact in Texas for years to come.
Sincerely,
Colin Allred
Member of Congress
