Gov. Kemp Announces $1.2B Pirelli Investment in the Peach State

The Daily Signal - Wed, 09/23/2026 - 09:20

Gov. Brian Kemp on Tuesday announced the expansion and investment of Pirelli, a company with roots in Italy, into the Peach State.

Created in 1872, Pirelli is one of the world’s largest tire makers, creating products and services for automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles. It has been the “Global Tire Partner of the Formula 1 World Championship” since 2011 and is well known for its advanced technologies, manufacturing, and desire to deliver results from advanced ideas.

While the company was founded in Italy, it expanded into the Peach State in 2002, setting its American headquarters in Rome, Georgia. It currently employs 234 Georgians through its manufacturing and headquarters operations in the state.

“Pirelli was one of the early companies to help build Georgia’s automotive supply chain, and more than two decades later, they are continuing to believe in Georgia and invest in their future here,” Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Pat Wilson said of the economic news.

In a press release, Kemp commented on the value that Pirelli brings to the Peach State, saying, “For over two decades, Pirelli has been a valued presence in our state, and I’m thankful that our efforts to grow this partnership are paying off with even more jobs for hardworking Georgians.”

“This historic investment will expand Pirelli’s footprint with roughly five times more positions than they currently employ across the region, and we wish them continued success here in the No. 1 state for business,” the governor continued.

Located at 100 Pirelli Drive in Rome, the tire company plans to enlarge its footprint in two stages: the first involves adding the newest robotics equipment, and the second is expanding its traditional manufacturing process, “which will require more hiring.”

Claudio Zanardo, CEO of Pirelli North America, commented on its U.S. operations, saying, “The U.S. is one of Pirelli’s most important markets and offers significant opportunities for growth.”

“The expansion of our Rome facility strengthens our ‘local for local’ strategy, increasing our manufacturing capacity in the U.S. while introducing the latest-generation technologies, such as the Cyber Tyre, and advanced robotics. This investment will allow us to better serve the needs of the local market, create new jobs, and further strengthen Pirelli’s presence in North America.”

Pirelli plans to start the majority of its hiring in 2029. The facility is expected to be completely operational in 2033.

Dems Obstruct Rand Paul’s Plea Deal Offer to Fauci’s Assistant

The Daily Signal - Wed, 09/23/2026 - 08:45

Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., blocked a plea deal offer from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s assistant for her testimony about destroying records at her boss’s request in exchange for immunity from possible criminal charges from the Department of Justice.

Before the vote, Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., told the Daily Signal that the plea offer provides an opportunity for “transparency” and to give the American people “the truth,” given that the unnamed former assistant would provide testimony to the committee regarding her involvement in destroying public records in order to protect former top officials of the National Institutes of Health.

“I think everybody should be for transparency, whether a Republican or a Democrat. We’d like his assistant to testify about who gave her the orders to destroy records, how many records were destroyed, and over what period of time she destroyed records for Anthony Fauci,” Paul told the Daily Signal. “And I think that’s the least anybody could expect.”

“If she’s taking orders from above, it’s the person who gave the orders that, you know, needs to be either reprimanded or chastised, or, you know, found guilty by history, and we’re trying to get to the truth, and that’s why we’re offering this assistant immunity,” Paul continued.

During the committee’s business meeting, however, Hassan, the only Democrat present, said she opposed the effort to offer the assistant the deal because she “does not have enough information” on the matter, despite having received all of the information made available to the committee’s Republicans, Paul confirmed.

Paul added that he had each Democrat on the committee sign a document stating that they had received information about the offer, the assistant, and the committee’s doubts about the COVID-19 pandemic and former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Fauci, hinting that the Democrats’ obstruction could have been purely political.

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, echoed the chairman’s claim and spoke out against what Republicans described as the Democrats’ obstruction of the effort to hear the assistant’s testimony and avoid any criminal charges against her.

“Eight of us are saying let’s talk, and Democrats are sitting here like middle schoolers saying no, we don’t,” Moreno said, adding that Democrats are “acting like petulant middle school children.”

The resolution to offer the assistant the deal needed two-thirds of the vote to pass. The vote ultimately failed after all seven committee Democrats voted against it, with the other six Democrats on the committee voting no by proxy.

After the hearing, Paul stated that his effort to offer the assistant immunity from possible criminal prosecution in exchange for testimony is not over, adding that he “will personally be sending a letter to the Department of Justice asking them to pursue this.”
