State Representative Patrick Windhorst has announced that he earned a 100% voting record with the Technology & Manufacturing Association (TMA) according to their 2023 Legislative Scorecard. Windhorst is among 32 members of the Illinois General Assembly to receive this designation.

"The TMA works hard to educate legislators throughout the Session of legislation that is both good and bad for small and midsize technology and manufacturing businesses in Illinois," Windhorst stated. "Since taking office, I have worked very hard to maintain a voting record opposing tax increases and increased regulations on our employers."

The TMA's 2023 Legislative Scorecard tracked lawmakers' votes on several key bills: HB3129 (Mandated Pay Scale Posting), HB1122 (Freelance Worker Protection Act), HB2862 (Temporary Labor Services Act), HB219 (Punitive Damages—Wrongful Death Lawsuits), HB2473 (Nuclear Energy), HB218 (Deceptive Practices with Firearms), and SB1996 (Manufacturing Mentorship Program).

"The Technology & Manufacturing Association works hard to lower taxes, improve vocational education, reduce business regulations, and keep companies and jobs in Illinois instead of seeing them go to other states," Windhorst said. "This designation is a reflection of my commitment to voting to improve Illinois’ business and jobs climate, and I will continue that work as State Representative."
