MMA Announces Pro-Manufacturing Candidate Endorsements 2020

LANSING (September 21, 2020) — The Michigan Manufacturers Association (MMA) announced the endorsement of 66 pro-manufacturing candidates in the Michigan House of Representatives and two rule-of-law Michigan Supreme Court candidates in the upcoming General Election on Tuesday, 11/3/20.

“Michigan manufacturing is the largest source of job and wealth creation in the state, driving local economies across Michigan,” said MMA President & CEO John J. Walsh. “Michigan manufacturers compete with the lowest cost locations anywhere in the world, so it is imperative that state policymakers continuously seek ways to improve Michigan’s business climate and improve the competitive position for manufacturing job creators.”

“We are confident that these 66 pro-manufacturing legislators understand the importance of manufacturing to Michigan’s economy,” said Mike Johnston, MMA Vice President of Government Affairs. “These candidates will drive the pro-manufacturing policies necessary to empower the manufacturing-driven economic recovery and to attract new investment and jobs in the Great Lakes State.”

With regard to the endorsement of Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack and Court of Appeals Judge Brock Swartzle, Walsh noted “Businesses and economies thrive on predictability and consistency. We are confident that Justice McCormack and Judge Swartzle will defend the integrity of Michigan’s judicial system by upholding the objective rule of law.”

(See below for the full list of endorsed candidates.)

MMA is the only statewide association dedicated to representing Michigan’s diverse manufacturing sector and securing a prosperous future for the state’s largest and most vital industry.
