Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On February 10th 2023, standing with onsemi’s CEO and newest employees, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer today announced that onsemi has officially arrived in Dutchess County, saving over 1,000 good-paying tech jobs and investing $1.3 billion to formally launch the nation’s only 12-inch power discrete image sensor fab right in East Fishkill. Building on the region’s legacy of innovation and bringing new manufacturing to the heart of the Hudson Valley. The senator worked relentlessly to prevent any layoffs during the sale of the East Fishkill fab to onsemi, working to avoid further job loss that has historically plagued the East Fishkill fab. Schumer personally met with onsemi’s top brass several times after the 2019 acquisition announcement, and worked with local partners to successfully pass his CHIPS and Science Act to provide historic new federal incentives to expand the semiconductor industry here in America, including in Upstate New York.
