Larsen Statement on Kimberly-Clark Announcement

Washington, DC, September 1, 2011

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) issued this statement in response to Kimberly-Clark's announcement:

"The announcement today that Kimberly-Clark has notified employees that it may shut down its facility is difficult news but not the final word.

"I am committed to doing what I can to protect these jobs.

"I am certain that Kimberly-Clark will continue its efforts to find a buyer for this facility given its investment into the Everett community and workforce.
