WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Candidate Jim Kingston for Georgia’s First 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.
“Jim Kingston has spent his career in the private sector working directly with Southeast Georgia’s businesses, farms, and families. He understands what federal red tape actually costs at the ground level,” said Moore Hallmark, Vice President and Managing Director of the Chamber’s Regional Government Affairs. “The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is proud to endorse Jim Kingston to represent Georgia’s 1st Congressional District, and we look forward to working with him next Congress.”
“One of the great parts of my career has been getting to know the businesses, farms, and job creators who make Southeast Georgia hum,” said Jim Kingston, candidate for Georgia’s 1st Congressional District. “Whether managing their commercial insurance or now traveling the district as a candidate, I've seen up-close how important it is for our district to have a strong, conservative advocate in Congress who understands this economy. I'm proud to have the support of the Chamber of Commerce because we agree on the fundamentals: taxes are too high, red tape is strangling growth, and the federal government needs to get out of the way and let American businesses compete and win. Our ports, our military installations, our farms, our small businesses... I'm going to Washington to fight for all of it.”
“Jim Kingston brings a strong understanding of Southeast Georgia and the issues facing its communities, families, and employers. His campaign’s focus on conservative leadership, economic growth, and affordability aligns with priorities that are critical to the region’s future. We are proud to support his campaign for Congress,” said Chris Clark, President and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
