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 named State Senator Steve McClure (R-Springfield) as a “Champion of Manufacturing.”

State Senator McClure says that it is important to support job creators and policies that promote the growth of good-paying jobs.  He says it is an honor to be recognized for his support of pro-growth economic policies. 

The IMA is an organization that represents the manufacturing industry in Illinois. Their “Champion of Manufacturing” award recognizes legislators who 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.

IMA VP of Government Affairs Donovan Griffith says that Senator McClure is a strong supporter of manufacturers, advocating for measures that will strengthen investment and spur economic growth in our communities.
