Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici visits CST

 

Congresswomen Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) visits CST and meets with members of the Pacific Northwest Defense CoalitionIt was truly a pleasure and an honor for Cascade Systems Technology (CST) to host U.S. Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (Oregon, 1st district) and members of the Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition (PNDC) recently!

We had an excellent discussion with Congresswoman Bonamici about the next stage of the U.S. Government Chips & Science Act and silicon supply chain challenges; the critical role of circuit board manufacturers and other downstream companies who support semiconductor technology (after all, “chips don’t float” or work on their own!); and the importance of keeping such electronics infrastructure stateside…not offshore or even near shore.

It was also great to show Congresswoman Bonamici one such supporting factory (ours!) in action and experience first-hand her genuine interest, keen intellect, and insightful questions. We were also impressed that Congresswoman Bonamici made a point of speaking at length with many of CST’s employees during the tour. I have every confidence she left with a true understanding of how circuit boards are made and that she will take our important message to Washington, DC where she’ll help drive supportive legislation at the national level that recognizes the value and contribution of a resilient and prospering silicon supply chain/ecosystem to American job creation, competitiveness, and both economic and national security!

They say a “a rising tide lifts all boats.” With Congresswoman Bonamici’s visit, understanding, and commitment and with initiatives like PNDC’s Congressional Roundtables helping to foster such important dialogue, I am more convinced than ever we’re heading in precisely that direction!
