Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- In recognition of his continued commitment to supporting pro-growth economic policies that help businesses thrive and create good-paying jobs, the Illinois Manufacturers Association (IMA) has once again named State Senator Steve McClure (R-Springfield) as a “Champion of Manufacturing.”

“It’s important to support our job-creators and policies that promote the growth of good-paying jobs,” said Senator McClure. “It’s an honor to once again be recognized for my support of pro-growth economic policies for the people of Illinois.”

The IMA is an organization which represents the manufacturing industry in Illinois. Their “Champion of Manufacturing” award recognizes legislators that voted in support of their industry by analyzing the voting records for several bills. According to the organization’s metrics, Senator McClure voted in support of the industry 81% of the time.

“Senator McClure is a strong supporter of manufacturers, advocating for measures that will strengthen investment and spur economic growth in our communities,” said IMA VP of Government Affairs Donovan Griffith. “We thank Senator McClure for standing with job creators as we work to build a more prosperous Illinois for generations to come.”
