AFPM ad campaign urges Congress to finish the job and stop CA mandates, costs & red tape from hitting the rest of America
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is launching a seven-figure ad campaign in the Beltway and in eight states urging Congress to act on the six California waivers transmitted by EPA under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). If passed, the CRA resolutions would effectively stop a series of California electrification mandates and red tape affecting passenger cars and trucks, manufacturers of lawn equipment, marine vessels, and the cost of consumer goods around the country.
