There are two small factories, one in Minnesota and one in Michigan. They're probably not big enough (or well known enough) for this to be an effective issue in the Midwest.

The factory here in Austin, TX, however, has 20,000 employees and counting, so this might be a more effective argument to use here. It's already received some media attention locally.
