WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, across two stops in Florence and Simpsonville, KY, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Candidate Ed Gallrein for Kentucky’s Fourth Congressional District. The U.S. Chamber endorses candidates for federal office who will support policies that drive innovation, grow the economy, and create opportunities for American businesses and workers.

“A fifth-generation Kentucky farmer and retired Navy SEAL officer, Ed Gallrein has spent his life serving his country and his community. After thirty years of leading teams in some of the most demanding environments in the world, he has consistently demonstrated leadership on economic security and policies that support American workers and job creators, including small businesses. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is proud to endorse him to represent Kentucky in Congress and we look forward to working with him to advance pro-growth policies,” said Kevin Courtois, Vice President of the Chamber’s Great Lakes Region.

“Operating a diversified Family Farm quickly teaches you what creates jobs – and what kills them. Kentucky workers, farmers, and businesses don’t need more taxes, more regulation, and more Washington red tape” said Ed Gallrein, candidate for Kentucky’s Fourth Congressional District. “They need a government that gets out of the way and lets them thrive. I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an advocate for our diverse economic ecosystem in this Congressional District, and I look forward to partnering with them, President Trump, and the Republican Party to slash taxes, cut red tape, strengthen American businesses, and bring more good-paying jobs back home to Kentucky.”
