The way that we address inflation is that we rebuild our domestic manufacturing.
Rebuild domestic manufacturing.

She is supporting efforts to create American jobs and making sure American workers have the training needed to do those jobs at good pay.
In Congress, I’m working to rebuild American manufacturing and expand trade programs because all work has dignity and it’s time to level the playing field.
Evidence
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez visited the Raymond Weyerhaeuser Sawmill, viewed construction of a new continuous dry kiln, and said, "If we want to build things in this country, we need to support the people who process raw materials. A manufacturing economy is critical..."
In T&I Member Day testimony, she said she supports including the REPAIR Act in a surface transportation reauthorization and wants repair rights so people can "fix their own stuff."
Assessments
The promise is broad and outcome-oriented: rebuilding domestic manufacturing. The evidence shows Gluesenkamp Perez has actively advanced manufacturing-adjacent policy through right-to-repair bills, testimony, and district-level promotion of production and raw-material processing. Those are meaningful federal efforts and plausibly support domestic repair, durability, and small manufacturing capacity. However, the record provided does not show that she delivered a completed federal manufacturing-rebuilding outcome, such as enacted major manufacturing legislation, appropriated implementation she secured, or measurable rebuilt domestic manufacturing capacity attributable to her. Because she remains in office and has made concrete legislative attempts during the same federal term, this merits partial credit rather than delivered or never.
