With today’s announcement, Rauner has now been endorsed over Pat
Quinn by three of Illinois’ leading job creation groups: the
Illinois Manufacturers' Association, the National Federation of
Independent Business and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. “Job
creators across the state share our vision of job creation and economic growth,”
Rauner said. “They want the Quinn-Madigan tax hikes rolled back. They want an
end to Springfield’s never-ending red tape. They want lawsuit reform and workers
comp reform. And they want an end to Pat Quinn’s corruption tax.”
"When it
comes to jobs and those who create them, Pat Quinn still doesn't understand what
it takes to grow our economy,” said Todd Maisch, president and CEO of the
Illinois Chamber of Commerce. “Luckily, this election year presents us with a
clear alternative – a candidate with a vision to restore Illinois’ mantle as the
economic engine of the Midwest. Bruce Rauner will be a champion for Illinois job
creation and we are proud to endorse him."
