RECOGNIZING PATRIOT INDUSTRIES

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 98 (Wednesday, June 10, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 98 (Wednesday, June 10, 2026)] [House] [Page H4065] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING PATRIOT INDUSTRIES (Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McGUIRE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Patriot Industries of Louisa County, Virginia, for being named the Small Business Administration's Virginia Manufacturer of the Year. Founded in 2010 by Tom and Sarah Click in a modest 1,000-square-foot facility, Patriot Industries has grown into a leading manufacturer of electrical infrastructure products, operating three U.S.-based facilities and employing nearly 100 Americans. Their conduit, fittings, and other critical components help support construction, energy systems, and infrastructure projects across the country. Through continuous investment in manufacturing, innovation, and workforce development, Patriot has strengthened domestic supply chains while creating jobs in Virginia. I congratulate Tom, Sarah, and the entire Patriot team on this well- deserved recognition and thank them for representing the very best of American manufacturing. ____________________
