Congresswoman Sykes is committed to bringing the historic investments of the CHIPS and Science Act back to her district to create good-paying jobs and advance research right here in Northeast Ohio.
Bring historic CHIPS and Science Act investments back to Ohio's 13th District to create good-paying jobs and advance research.
Occurrences
Evidence
The homepage lists a June 12, 2026 press release titled 'Rep. Sykes Secures More than $550,000 For Biomedical Research,' which is recent official evidence of research funding activity in OH-13.
Sykes announced $5,439,739 in DOE ARPA-E grants for the University of Akron, with the release saying the money supports technologies that advance energy research, jobs, and opportunities for the region.
Assessments
Emilia Strong Sykes can claim some district-level federal research investment and jobs-related funding in OH-13, including a $5.44 million ARPA-E award to the University of Akron and additional research funding announcements. However, the evidence does not show the specific promised outcome of historic CHIPS and Science Act investments returning to the district, so this is only partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
