Received this e-mail today from Rep. Mike Michaud's (D. ME) gubernatorial campaign:
Bringing good-paying manufacturing jobs back to Maine has been one of my top priorities since I was first elected to public office. That's why I want to share some very exciting news with you today.
Late last week, the Department of Defense finally agreed to comply with the law requiring all military recruits to be issued American-made athletic footwear, a common-sense proposal I’ve been aggressively pushing the Administration to adopt for several years.
This is a huge step forward for manufacturing jobs in America, and potentially here in Maine. New Balance is one of only two footwear manufacturers in the U.S. that can currently make 100% American-made shoes. With three factories right here in Maine, this decision could potentially mean hundreds of new jobs and a huge boost to our state's economy.
And what's more, our brave soldiers will be outfitted in footwear labeled "Made in USA"! It's a win-win for Maine and for our troops.
Now, will you help me spread this great news? Please click here to share this image with your friends and family on Facebook.

I couldn't be prouder to have helped this important process forward for our military and for jobs here in Maine.
