Doesn’t work. Still returning the label.

Here is what my code looks like:

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

<ul>
	<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
	<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
	
		<?php 
		$value = get_field('industry_subsector'); 
		?>
		<li id="<?php echo $value; ?>">
			<?php the_field('industry_subsector'); ?>
		</li>

	<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>

Here is what I get…

<ul>	
	<li id="Building Products">Building Products</li>
	<li id="General Industrial">General Industrial</li>
	<li id="Specialty Chemicals">Specialty Chemicals</li>
	<li id="Measurement & Controls">Measurement & Controls</li>
	<li id="Automotive">Automotive</li>
</ul>

My field choices look like this:

automotive : Automotive
building_products : Building Products
measurement_controls : Measurement & Controls
paper_packaging : Paper/Packaging
general_industrial : General Industrial
specialty_chemicals : Specialty Chemicals

I want it to look like this:

<ul>	
	<li id="building_products">Building Products</li>
	<li id="general_industrial">General Industrial</li>
	<li id="specialty_chemicals">Specialty Chemicals</li>
	<li id="measurement_controls">Measurement & Controls</li>
	<li id="automotive">Automotive</li>
</ul>

What am I doing wrong?
