“Today I spoke with Harley-Davidson about its plans. I commend Harley for engaging its workforce early in this process, and for its commitment to keeping its operations here. Working with the company’s management and employees, I will do everything I can to ensure Harley-Davidson remains a proud Wisconsin company for generations to come.
“I’ve always worked hand-in-hand with businesses to expand economic opportunity for Wisconsin workers and families. These partnerships have helped bring thousands of jobs to the Menomonee Valley, and helped companies like Republic, Direct Supply, C&D Technologies and Bucyrus expand and add thousands more jobs in our region. I will do the exact same thing with Harley-Davidson. This is the adult leadership Wisconsin needs in these tough economic times; what we don’t need are politicians who attack companies that are actually bringing jobs to Wisconsin just to score cheap points.”
