AED Urges Bipartisan Cooperation Following Election Results
AED President and CEO Brian P. McGuire issued the following statement congratulating the winners of the recent federal and state elections and urging elected officials to move beyond partisan divisions to advance policies that strengthen the economy, support the equipment industry and drive long-term economic growth.
“Congratulations to all the incumbents and challengers, at both the federal and state levels, that were victorious. There were hard-fought campaigns and AED was honored to engage with federal and state candidates at AED member locations across the country.”
“With Election Day behind us, it’s time to put partisanship aside and work together to solve the country’s most challenging issues. Policymakers should pursue pro-growth policies that support equipment dealers and manufacturers, and our customers, including proposals that buttress rural America and the agriculture sector, rebuild crumbling infrastructure, invest in educating the next generation of skilled workers, and create tax policies that incentivize capital investment and job creation. The future prosperity of the United States depends on these commitments, and AED members are ready to play a key role in supplying the equipment critical to building, feeding, and fueling the country.”
