U.S. Chamber Endorses Dean Andal for Congress

"A champion for the people of northern California," Miller Says

WASHINGTON, D.C.-The U.S. Chamber of Commerce today announced its endorsement of Dean Andal for election in California's 11th Congressional District, praising his strong support for California businesses, both large and small.

"Dean Andal has been a champion for the people of northern California and an invaluable leader on important business issues," said Bill Miller, the U.S. Chamber's senior vice president and political director. "If elected, we believe Andal will continue to support businesses of all sizes."

A former member of the California Assembly and the California Board of Equalization, Andal help spur business growth and job creation in the region by advocating for tax reform and against government regulation.

"On issues ranging from reducing taxes to streamlining the regulatory process, California's businesses and workers have no better friend than Dean Andal," said Miller.

The U.S. Chamber is playing a major role in the upcoming national elections, endorsing candidates who have demonstrated support for business priorities and will work to advance a pro-growth agenda in Congress. In 2006, 222 of the 277 Chamber endorsed candidates were elected.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation, representing more than three million businesses and organizations of every size, sector, and region.
