Statement attributable to Auto Innovators President and CEO John Bozzella on the retirement of Rep. Fred Upton:
“For more than 30 years, Representative – and Chairman – Upton has been a strong partner of the automotive industry in the U.S. with a deep commitment to transportation innovation, safety and jobs. He never forgot where he came from and understood the importance of a thriving auto economy to his Michigan district and the country. In countless interactions over the years, Representative Upton was always thoughtful, fair, committed to doing the hard work and telling the hard truths. Auto Innovators thanks him for his decades of bipartisan service and leadership.”
