WASHINGTON, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Chemistry Council (ACC) announced today that it has launched advertisements commending Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) for his support of policies that will limit wasteful government spending and grow the economy.

"Again and again, Sen. Toomey has shown strong leadership and support for Pennsylvania and its job creators. Pennsylvania is the tenth largest chemistry-producing state, and as representatives of one of the nation's largest manufacturing sectors, we want to acknowledge Sen. Toomey's hard work to keep our economy thriving," explained ACC President and CEO Cal Dooley. "He supports practical policies that decrease wasteful spending, keep taxes low and strengthen our economy, which are critical to America's manufacturing sector and small businesses in Pennsylvania 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. Toomey will run for two weeks throughout select markets in Pennsylvania, including Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre, Johnstown and their surrounding areas, and will encourage constituents to contact the office of the Senator to tell him to keep up the good work.
