McDonald Rivet Statement on 10,000 Jobs Lost to Administration’s Chaos

WASHINGTON— Today, Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08) released the following statement after recent reporting revealed mid-Michigan lost out on a potential semiconductor investment that could have brought thousands of jobs to the region due to “national economic turmoil.” 

“This is a gut punch to working families across our region. Trump’s abandonment of long-term investments and chaotic tariff practices are not only raising costs, they just killed 10,000 good-paying jobs,” said Congresswoman McDonald Rivet. “This could have been a game-changer for mid-Michigan’s economy. We need practical solutions, not chaos and dysfunction that cost us once-in-a-generation opportunities.”
