BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky. – Today, the nation’s largest coalition of businesses, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, gave its endorsement to Dr. Rand Paul in his bid for election to the U.S. Senate in Kentucky.
“At no other time in our nation’s history has it been more critical that Members of Congress provide leadership that protects and advances the interests of the business community,” said Thomas Donohue, President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber, in a letter announcing the endorsement. “We believe that [Rand Paul’s] election to the U.S. Senate will help produce sustained economic growth and help create more jobs.”
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the country’s oldest and most well-respected national voice for business. The organization is the world’s largest federation of its type, representing over 3 million businesses—96 percent of which are small businesses with 100 or fewer employees.
“This campaign is honored to have the endorsement of an organization as important to the interests of American small businesses as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,” said Jesse Benton, Paul’s campaign manager. “Dr. Paul will always fight to protect Kentucky’s small businesses and the jobs they create from the job-killing schemes that come from the liberal elites in Washington.”
