Had Previously Briefed The Trump Campaign

The Aerospace Industries Association participated in a meeting Wednesday with informal advisors from the Clinton Campaign on issues of importance to our industry. As the Voice of American Aerospace and Defense, AIA’s role is to educate elected leaders, candidates for office and the general public on the importance of our industry to our economy and national security. AIA previously briefed Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Early in the campaign season last year, AIA developed a series of position papers that we distributed to every Congressional and Presidential campaign. The association says it will continue to pursue the opportunity to brief any active campaign on its priorities.

AIA is a strictly non-partisan organization and is not permitted – expressly or by implication – to endorse candidates for political office. Its briefings are for educational purposes only, and they say they welcome the opportunity to speak with the candidates about issues that matter to our nation, our industry and its members.
