Tech Groups Staying Neutral in Tuesday's Alabama Senate Race

None of the tech groups we canvassed is taking sides in Tuesday’s special election in Alabama between Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore to fill the Senate seat vacated when Jeff Sessions became attorney general. Neither CTA nor CEO Gary Shapiro is taking a “public position," he told us Wednesday. CTA’s political action committee also “isn’t supporting either candidate,” confirmed Tiffany Moore, CTA vice president-congressional affairs. NAB "has not taken a position or donated NABPAC money to either candidate," a spokesman said. The Information Technology Industry Council and CompTIA are staying neutral, their spokesmen said Thursday.
