“Today’s news from the big three U.S. auto makers is great news for our auto industry and for Indiana workers and families.

"We still have a long way to go to get our economy to where we want it to be, but today’s news shows that our economy is growing stronger and will ultimately be more resilient going forward despite the best efforts of Republicans like Mike Pence and Richard Mourdock to thwart the auto industry's recovery.
