The national organization and local chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors, a large construction trade group, today announced its endorsement of Linda Lingle for the U.S. Senate.

Press release quote from Jonathan Young, President of ABC’s Hawaii Chapter.

In order to revive the economy and stimulate job growth for the men and women in the construction industry, we believe it is imperative to focus on implementing fair contracting opportunities, increasing access to capital, providing meaningful tax relief for small businesses, speeding up capital improvement and infrastructure projects, and increasing access to training programs. Linda Lingle worked to develop these opportunities as Governor, and we have no doubt that she will continue these efforts at the federal level in the U.S. Senate.
