WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recognized Congressman McCarthy with “The Spirit of Enterprise” award. The award is given to Members of Congress who support “legislation critical to the American business community.”
“Especially at a time when a growing number of families are facing the uncertainty of a slowing economy, Congress should responsibly promote a pro-job, pro-growth economic agenda to help Americans today, and our children who will inherit this economy in the near future,” said Congressman McCarthy. “I am proud to listen and work with my constituents and colleagues to ensure American businesses can compete in an ever-growing competitive global economy.”
“Representative McCarthy has proven to be an effective ally to the business community, supporting legislation that helps grow the economy and creates new jobs for hardworking Americans,” said Tom Donohue, Chamber president and CEO. “The Chamber is grateful for Kevin’s commitment to these important issues and is proud to present him with this award.” (see attachment for Chamber of Commerce press release)
