Yakym Tour Stops in La Porte

(La Porte, IN) - Area Congressman Rudy Yakym has made several stops in La Porte as part of his district-wide summer tour.

 

He calls it the "One Big Beautiful Hoosier" tour, playing off of President Trump’s recently-passed tax and spending legislation. Yakym is visiting places in all 11 counties of his 2nd Congressional District.

 

On Tuesday he visited New York Blower’s new facility on the city’s east side. Friday, he made two more stops in La Porte.

 

First he met with members of La Porte’s Economic Advancement Partnership (LEAP) to discuss the Made in America provision of the One Big Beautiful Bill and how it positions Indiana for job creation and increased domestic investment. He also B&B Manufacturing on Fail Rd., which produces belts, pulleys, and other transmission and drive components.

 

“What a tremendous start to the One Big Beautiful Hoosier Tour,” Yakym said. “This first week allowed me to travel across Indiana’s Second District, meet with innovative manufacturers, business leaders, and community members, and witness firsthand how the One Big Beautiful Bill is already delivering results. From manufacturers to innovators to main street businesses, the enthusiasm and optimism has been unmistakable.”

 

Yakym also visited locations in Walkerton, Winamac, and North Judson. His tour will continue throughout the district next week.
