WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Chemistry Council (ACC) announced today that it has launched advertisements complimenting Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) for his support of policies that will grow the economy and create jobs in the Show-Me State.

"Because ACC represents one of the nation's largest manufacturing sectors and chemistry is the third largest manufacturing industry in the state, we want to acknowledge Sen. Blunt's hard work and bipartisan leadership in Washington," explained ACC President and CEO Cal Dooley. "His support of policies that strengthen our economy, keep taxes low and allow businesses to thrive and create good-paying jobs has been critical to America's manufacturing sector and small businesses in Missouri and around the country."

These advertisements are part of a seven-figure ad campaign running across three states commending U.S. Senators for their support of pro-business policies. The ads for Sen. Blunt will run for two weeks throughout Missouri, including St. Louis, and encourage constituents to contact the office of the Senator to tell him to keep up the good work.
