“ProgressPAC has been a strong voice for identifying, supporting and electing pro-jobs candidates for almost four decades,” Kevin Savoy, ProgressPAC’s chairman said in a statement. “ProgressPAC and BCA are proud to support candidates who demonstrate a commitment to cultivating an environment in Alabama that supports Alabama’s employers and their ability to create and sustain good jobs.”
Drew Harrell, Executive Director of ProgressPAC, said in a press release that electing pro-jobs legislators has a positive impact across all of Alabama.
“ProgressPAC’s endorsed candidates demonstrate a pro-jobs and pro-business philosophy,” Harrell said. “This philosophy recognizes that a free enterprise system with less regulation and more opportunity creates the prospect for growth among businesses of all sizes and sectors across our state.
