Bryan Steil is a leader in the fight against coronavirus
“When our frontline workers needed personal protective equipment, I got to work with the White House, Jockey, and Charter NEX. My previous background in manufacturing and current role in Congress helped Southeast Wisconsin deliver for our nation’s workers and quickly become a leader in PPE production. Not only did this help keep people safe, it helped save jobs.”
Bryan has worked throughout the pandemic to ensure workers, families, and health care professionals have needed relief. At the beginning of the crisis, Bryan worked with the White House Coronavirus Task Force, Jockey in Kenosha, and Charter NEX in Milton to create thousands of PPE gowns for frontline workers.
