Senator Udall Visits Aspen Avionics
Build a better mouse-trap and the world will beat a path to your
door... but, build a better glass panel system and a US Senator
may come to visit... ANN has learned that US Senator Tom Udall
(D-NM) paid a visit to Aspen Avionics last week as part of his
effort to familiarize himself with prominent, New Mexico
businesses. While at Aspen, Senator Udall addressed Aspen’s
employees and was given a tour of the company’s
state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
As part of his visit, Senator Udall also met with more than 40
members of the New Mexico Aviation/Aerospace Association, an
organization that was launched in January 2009 to provide a unified
industry voice to local aviation companies. The Senator took
questions from the association’s members relating to critical
business and general aviation-related issues.
“We are honored to host Senator Udall and the New Mexico
Aviation/Aerospace Association at our company,” said Aspen
Avionics President and CEO John Uczekaj.
“General aviation is an established industry here in New
Mexico, and Aspen is a proud member of that community. Senator
Udall recognizes the contribution our industry makes to the local
and state economies and is looking for ways to support our
interests.”
Senator Udall, a former congressman, was sworn into office in
January 2009 as New Mexico's 17th United States Senator. In the
Senate, he serves on four Senate committees, including the
Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, the Committee on
Environment and Public Works, the Committee on Indian Affairs, and
the Committee on Rules and Administration.
“I want to thank the dedicated staff and leadership at
Aspen Avionics for allowing me to gain a first-hand view into their
important work. It is clear from my tour that the Aspen workforce
is committed to delivering cutting edge innovations to the aviation
marketplace and I am proud to see their small business thriving
right here in New Mexico," said Senator Udall.
