YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
In the upcoming primary election on March 17th, you will have the opportunity to vote for those who will represent us in our counties, state and Washington, DC.
With so much at stake, it is vital to learn about the races and candidates who will significantly impact your pocketbook, your family, your job, and your employer.
Your vote has never been more important!
Who we elect will determine:
- Whether more jobs or fewer jobs are available for workers like you.
- Whether employers have the ability to increase wages and benefits for you and your colleagues.
- Whether taxes are going to go up even more or go down for working families like yours.
When you vote, you should know each candidate’s positions on these key issues because they have the biggest impact on your business, your job, and your family:
- Lowering Taxes
- Supporting American Manufacturing
- Reducing the Cost of Doing Business
- Decreasing Energy Costs
- Lowering Health Care Costs
PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CANDIDATES STAND ON THESE KEY ISSUES—THEN VOTE!
TMA will help. We have identified 154 candidates in TMA member regions who are in contested races for their party’s nomination for Illinois House, Illinois Senator, Governor, US House and US Senator. We have sent questionnaires to all of them and we will provide you information on where candidates stand on these key issues so you know which candidates support manufacturing in your community.
