Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, issued the following statement today regarding the Gov. Gregoire’s announcement of Washington state’s strategy to secure production of the 737-Max.
“Washington’s aerospace workers are the best in the world, and they are the best suited to build the next generation 737-MAX,” Larsen said. “I support the Governor’s strategy to invest in education to produce a strong workforce that will meet the manufacturing challenges that the 737-MAX will bring. Building this airplane will take thousands of workers over the next two decades, and I will continue working to bring those jobs to Snohomish County.”
