ABC March 5 endorsed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to be the 44th President of the United States. McCain was the unanimous choice of ABC’s national board of directors in a vote taken during the association’s 2008 National Convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
“For the commercial and industrial construction industry and the millions of Americans it employs, the election of Senator John McCain for president is a top priority,” said Bill Fairchild, 2008 ABC national chairman. “He has a strong record in protecting the rights of merit shop construction employees, working towards an agreement on comprehensive immigration reform and supporting the elimination of the estate tax.
“John McCain is the candidate that best represents the free enterprise values of ABC,” said Fairchild. “We are confident that he will continue to be an advocate for free enterprise and we proudly endorse his candidacy for president.”
