Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., highlighted on Monday the positive impact of Canadian jet manufacturer Bombardier in Kansas following President Donald Trump’s criticism of the company.
“The presence of Bombardier in Wichita supports a local workforce of more than a thousand employees who contribute their talent and expertise to our nation’s defense and aerospace capabilities. This afternoon, I reached out to the Trump administration to ensure the President recognizes Bombardier’s significant contributions to Kansas and the strategic importance of its presence in Wichita to many Kansas workers at Bombardier and within its supplier network,” Moran wrote in a recent X update.
“I will continue advocating for Bombardier’s manufacturing facilities to remain in Kansas and expand, creating additional American jobs. Kansas is home to a hardworking, skilled workforce, and I will welcome future aircraft and defense manufacturers to conduct business here—the Air Capital of the World,” the senator elaborated.
