Washington, D.C. - Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) voted against this year’s National Defense Authorization Act after House Republicans hijacked the bipartisan bill on the floor to insert amendments targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
Rep. Larson co-authored the following op-ed with Rep. Joe Courtney (CT-02) that appeared in the Connecticut Mirror:
The U.S. Navy and Electric Boat are continuing to ramp up hiring efforts for the company's Groton manufacturing facility that are needed now and will be required in the coming years to help produce two new classes of military submarines.
Two Connecticut House members have launched a new "maritime workforce campaign" in conjunction with the Navy and industry that aims to attract workers to the shipbuilding industry and improve submarine output, according to a Tuesday announcement from House Armed Services seapower and projection forces subcommittee Ranking Member Joe Courtney (D-CT).
Efforts to recruit for Electric Boat’s growing workforce are expanding to the Hartford area.
