Meet Ron Johnson, new U.S. Senator from South Carolina

 

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 2/6/2022

When told of Johnson's remarks, Democratic candidate and Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson was dumbfounded, declaring that the added jobs — and money — would help the wider community. 

"He wants a third term and he just doesn't understand economic development," Nelson said. "It's mind blowing, breathtaking." 

In February, 2021, Oshkosh Corporation's Oshkosh Defense division won a contract with the U.S. Postal Service to produce up to 165,000 Next Generation Delivery Vehicles. 

In June, Oshkosh Defense announced its decision to manufacture the vehicles at a new facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where it planned to hire more than 1,000 employees.
