WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Mining Association (NMA) today highlighted portions of the Harris-Walz economic plan, which focus on support for domestic mining.
Rich Nolan, President and CEO of the NMA, said, “Support for domestic mining must be a part of the election, and today we saw domestic mining—specifically ‘increased domestic production’—prominently featured in the Vice President’s economic plan. It is only with mined in America materials, produced under world leading environmental, labor and safety standards, that we can truly secure our supply chains for the benefit of American manufacturing, for U.S. jobs and to reduce our perilous reliance on China. Strong supply chains should be a nonpartisan issue and we’re pleased to see the need for responsible domestic mining emerge as an area of common ground.”
