We appreciate @SenatorSlotkin’s staff for visiting ESCA member @BlackandVeatch to discuss how the ESOP model supports over 290 Michigan employee-owners, strengthens retirement security, and helps retain talent in a competitive market.

Thank you to @RepGregLandsman for visiting ESCA member @stresseng in Cincinnati to learn more about employee ownership in action across Ohio’s 1st District.

Great to see @virginiafoxx visit ESCA member Central States in Mt. Airy. “Our ESOP model empowers our employee-owners, and being able to showcase their pride, commitment, and the work they do every day made the visit especially meaningful,” said Plant Manager David Muniz.

Employee ownership continues to gain momentum, with total assets in ESOP plans rising 57% over the past decade. A new report to Congress from the @USDOL outlines ongoing federal efforts to support ESOP growth. We appreciate the DOL’s commitment to promoting employee ownership. tinyurl.com/2y292dsp

Employee ownership was front and center at the 2026 ESCA Leadership Summit in St. Petersburg. Thank you @RepRichardNeal, @BillCassidy, @MikeCrapo, and @RepRudyYakym for joining us and reinforcing bipartisan support for employee ownership and the worker owners it strengthens.

Thank you @BobOnderMO for visiting ESCA member Central States Manufacturing in St. Peters. As Plant Manager Tommy Kiene shared, “We appreciated the opportunity to welcome Congressman Bob Onder to our facility and share how our ESOP model empowers our employees.”

Great to see @RepJohnJoyce visit ESCA member Central States Manufacturing at their Claysburg facility. “From employee ownership to advanced production capabilities, Central States is a strong example of how domestic manufacturing can help local businesses grow and succeed,” Rep. Joyce said.
