In recognition of her commitment to supporting policies that benefit manufacturers and the broader business community in Illinois, State Senator Sally Turner (R-Beason) was named a “Champion of Manufacturing” by the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA).

The IMA awarded the title based on its 2024 Legislative Report Card, which highlights lawmakers who consistently support Illinois' manufacturing industry. The Report Card rates lawmakers based on their voting record on key bills that impact the state's manufacturing sector.

“The manufacturing sector within our state employs more than 600,000 people, making it a vital part of our economy,” said Sen. Turner. “I am proud to have supported legislative initiatives that ensure this industry and its employees can continue to thrive.”

With an 88 percent voting record, Sen. Turner demonstrated her broad support for Illinois’ manufacturing economy and the jobs it creates.

“Illinois manufacturers appreciate Senator Sally Turner, who has a strong record of supporting policies vital to advancing the industry and growing our economy,” said IMA VP of Government Affairs Donovan Griffith. “We’re proud to count on Senator Turner as a member of the manufacturing majority in the Illinois General Assembly, and look forward to continued partnership.”
