Thousand Oaks CA – Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D-Westlake Village) toured Smiths Interconnect, located in Thousand Oaks, a company that designs, manufactures, and tests precision antennas and antenna systems, on Tuesday. She met with Smiths Interconnect employees and saw firsthand the critical role local manufacturers play in our region’s economy as part of her “Julia at Your Job” series.
“Local manufacturers play an integral role in Ventura County’s diverse economy,” said Congresswoman Brownley. “Through their innovative products, Smiths Interconnect showcases how technology companies are supporting jobs and spurring growth that makes our economy strong. In Congress, I will continue to fight to ensure our local businesses can thrive, because when they succeed, Ventura County residents succeed.”
“It was an honor to show Congresswoman Brownley how Smiths Interconnect brings economic vitality to California’s 26th Congressional District. We greatly appreciate the time the Congresswoman took out of her busy schedule to learn more about our business and speak to our employees,” said Kevin Schmidt, VP Government Relations, Smiths Group.
