Patrick Rose

AUSTIN – The Texas Association of Manufacturers (TAM) political action committee, the Manufacturers PAC of Texas (MPACT), today announced its endorsement of incumbent State Representative Patrick Rose (D-Dripping Springs) for his reelection in 2010.

“Representative Rose received our endorsement due to his tireless efforts to advocate for a strong manufacturing climate in Texas that provide jobs at above average wages for workers in Central Texas as well as statewide.  Additionally, Mr. Rose is a proven, experienced, and honest leader in the House that provides steady representation for his constituents and a champion of business,” said Mark Bordas, Chairman of MPACT.

“As a founder of the Texas Manufacturers Caucus, a group of legislators coordinating legislation that helps our state support Texas manufacturers, I am grateful for TAM’s work in Austin,” said Representative Rose.  “With our continued partnership, we can succeed in creating a business climate that helps us keep jobs in Texas rather than shipping them overseas.”
