Rep. Michelle Fischbach's Staff Tours Brunswick's New York Mills Operation

NMMA recently organized a tour of Brunswick Corporation's New York Mills, Minn. facility with Sean Murphy, Representative Michelle Fischbach's Legislative Director. The visit provided an in-depth look at Brunswick's substantial manufacturing presence in Minnesota and highlighted the critical role the marine industry plays in the state's economy, along with key challenges and solutions facing the sector.

During the meeting, Brunswick’s New York Mills team showcased the company’s integrated business model and far-reaching geographic impact. Rep. Fischbach’s Legislative Director pledged to keep recreational boating industry’s concerns in mind as their office works to navigate the evolving trade landscape on Capitol Hill.

Additionally, the group touched on the importance of renewing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a topic particularly relevant as Rep. Fischbach, who represents Minnesota's 7th Congressional District, sits on the House Ways and Means Committee. The potential renewal of this legislation has significant implications for businesses across the country, including those in the marine industry.

“We truly appreciate Sean for taking the time to visit Brunswick’s New York Mills Operation and for the highly productive conversation,” said Jesse McArdell, senior manager of Midwest government relations for NMMA. “I’d also like to thank the entire Brunswick team for providing such a thorough overview of Lund Boats. Their hospitality and valuable insights into the manufacturing processes behind these boats were greatly appreciated. We’re excited to continue working with Congresswoman Fischbach and her team to promote the economic health of the marine industry.”
