MOLINE- A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois (A Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education) endorsed Senator Mike Jacobs in the 36th Senate District.
ABATE of Illinois is dedicated to preserving the rights of all motorcyclists - and ATV riders. Jacobs received an A plus rating based on his legislative record of voting on important ABATE issues.
"ABATE stands for freedom and less government intrusion in our lives- values Mike Jacobs shares," said Neal Toepfer, ABATE PAC Treasurer. "Mike has always been a friend of ABATE and we are glad to throw our support behind his reelection campaign."
ABATE sponsors numerous rider education programs and is a leading advocate for motorcycle education and safety, but they strongly believe that safety is the result of educated riders and drivers, not government mandates that impinge on personal freedom.
" I`m thankful for ABATE`s support this November. Their endorsement makes a real difference on the campaign trail," said Mike Jacobs. "I have been fortunate enough to have ABATE's support in the past and look forward to continuing to work together."
The organization represents over 12,000 motorcycle riders across the state in 60 chapters, committed to preserving individual rights. ABATE is one of the more effective political and legislative grassroots advocacy groups in the state, having consistently prevented the legislature from imposing government restrictions on the rights of riders.
