U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Suzanne P. Clark delivered the State of American Business 2025 message on January 16, calling on policymakers to prioritize growth and opportunity for all Americans in communities across the U.S.
She outlined a message that "all policy is local" outlined three areas critical to achieving economic growth in 2025. She was joined in North Texas by business leaders, decision-makers, and community champions who shared bold insights and a powerful vision for driving economic growth nationwide.
“The State of American Business is local,” Clark said, “whether it’s the small businesses that line Main Street, or the national chain restaurant where someone had their first job. The economic growth that powers people’s lives comes from cities, regions, and states where private enterprise, supported by smart public policy, drives progress and creates opportunity.”
Americans sent a clear message in 2024—they want more opportunities for their families and futures. Our 2025 program highlights the business community’s policy agenda to drive economic growth.
