NFIB Illinois PAC weighs in on five legislative primary races

The NFIB IL PAC endorsed five incumbent legislators in Illinois’ primary elections:
– Tony McCombine (89th House District)
– Norine Hammond (97th House District)
– Brad Halbrook (107th House District)
– Charlie Meier (109th House District)
– Dave Severin (116th House District)
All five have pro-small business voting records but are facing primary challenges. The endorsements reflect their support of Illinois’ Main Street businesses.
