U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky (IN-1) announced on Wednesday he will not seek re-election in 2020. After more than three decades in Congress, Pete is retiring! Born in Gary, Indiana and a graduate of Andrean High School, Indiana University Northwest and Notre Dame Law, Pete is a northwest Indiana native son who has been in office since 1986. That makes him the longest-serving member of Indiana’s Congressional delegation. {media_1} It has been time well spent. He’ll leave office as the chairman of the defense appropriations subcommittee, which is a big behind-the-scenes role in Washington. But just as importantly: He stuck up for the Region. And in doing so, he’s been a tireless advocate on behalf of American manufacturing and working people. He was a leader of the Congressional Steel Caucus for many years. He appeared often at U.S. International Trade Commission to fight for tougher trade enforcement rules. And he was a staunch supporter of Buy America laws and lead the fight to cover water infrastructure under those rules. Truly, Pete has kept it Made in America. We are big fans, and we’re sad to see him leave office. And we’re not the only ones. Here’s what leaders from the steel industry in Northwest Indiana had to say about Visclosky’s announcement.
