American Wind Action Launches South Dakota Campaign to Urge Continued Support for American Wind Jobs


WASHINGTON, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, American Wind Action (AWA) launched a statewide campaign in South Dakota to engage the public and encourage the South Dakota congressional delegation to recognize the benefits of wind energy, as well as support efforts to protect its 2,000 local jobs and contribution to the local economy. AWA will air a series of TV, print, radio and digital ads in a variety of South Dakota media markets throughout the remainder of the year.

Maureen Westphal, a spokesperson for AWA, said: "As AWA's new campaign demonstrates, wind energy is helping power a job creation boom in South Dakota ? providing well-paying job opportunities in a variety of careers and trades for its citizens, including our nation's veterans. Through this campaign, AWA seeks to educate the public and connect those who stand to benefit most from wind energy, its citizens, with their members of Congress, who hold the wind community's future in their hands."

"AWA is pleased the U.S. Senate has acknowledged the many benefits of wind energy for the nation in its recent deliberations on tax reform. Unfortunately, actions by the U.S. House have undercut wind energy and put over 102,000 jobs at risk ? 2,000 in South Dakota alone. As the debate continues at the federal level, AWA will continue fighting on behalf of workers, and they expect the South Dakota congressional delegation to do the same. Together with the people of South Dakota, we will work to ensure Washington, D.C. is doing its part to protect this powerful American energy source in South Dakota and throughout the nation," Westphal said.

As part of its newest campaign, AWA will share with South Dakotans important information about wind energy and its benefits for the state, including its successful efforts to create well-paying U.S. jobs and support the economy:
