REMARKS
Remarks by Vice President Pence to Winnebago Industries Employees | Forest City, IA
ECONOMY & JOBS
Issued on: June 16, 2020
Winnebago Industries Headquarters
Forest City, Iowa
2:12 P.M. CDT
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, hello, Iowa! (Applause.) It is great to be in Iowa on this beautiful June day, to see all of you out in the sunshine. Would you join me in just thanking Governor Kim Reynolds and her husband, Kevin, for the incredible work that they do for the people of Iowa every day? (Applause.) That’s a great leader.
To Governor Reynolds, to Mayor Barney Ruiter, and to the first woman ever elected to the Iowa House of Representatives, Speaker Linda Upmeyer — (applause) — it is great to be back in the Hawkeye State as this state and America make a transition to greatness! (Applause.)
And I really appreciate you all being here. I appreciate the warm welcome — the especially warm welcome. I really do. And I appreciate your inspiring example at this great company. More on that in a minute.
I mean, to be here at an American company that, for 60 years, has kept America on the move is incredibly inspiring. I know you had to shut down, but you opened right back up. You put people back to work, and you got America back on the road. Let’s hear it for Mike Happe and all the men and women of Winnebago, Iowa. (Applause.)
