Chairwoman McClain Joins GM for Major Auto Manufacturing Investment Announcement

Supports thousands of jobs in Michigan

June 10, 2025

WASHINGTON—House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) proudly joined General Motors (GM) in announcing GM will begin production of gas-powered full-size SUVs and light duty pickup trucks at the Orion Assembly Plant in early 2027 to help meet continued strong demand.

The announcement is part of GM's $4 billion investment in three American facilities, including the Orion Assembly location in Chairwoman McClain’s congressional district. It follows a series of economic moves by the Trump administration aimed at reversing decades of industrial decline and re-establishing the U.S. as a global leader in manufacturing.

“More jobs, more investment, and more pride in American manufacturing. This investment is a game-changer for our district and a big win for hard-working Michiganders,” Chairwoman McClain said. “For months, we have said the President’s efforts would pay off and more companies would invest in America again. Putting our country first, for the first time in years, is working. This investment is proof. I’m proud to have helped deliver this major win for our community.”
