RICHMOND HILL, GA – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of candidate Jim Kingston for Georgia's First Congressional District at a free enterprise event at Roberts International Trucks in Richmond Hill, Georgia, today. The event was a stop on the Chamber’s Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour, a national six-week bus tour promoting free enterprise.
At the event, Kingston was joined by Ashlee Rich Stephenson, Senior Political Strategist and Consultant at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Chris McDonald, CEO of the Bryan County Chamber of Commerce.
"Jim Kingston has earned the U.S. Chamber's endorsement because he understands that free-markets and economic growth are the surest path to creating jobs, fostering innovation, and lowering costs for consumers and businesses," said Rich Stephenson. "We know Jim will champion pro-growth policies that expand American energy production, strengthen infrastructure, and uplift communities across Georgia's First Congressional District. The U.S. Chamber looks forward to working alongside Jim in the 120th Congress to advance economic growth and defend free enterprise."
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.
The national Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour is a six-week trip through 20 states and more than 50 events to make the case for free enterprise in communities across America and push back against growing support for government-directed economic policies that threaten economic freedom, opportunity, innovation, and growth.
The effort is part of a broader Chamber initiative, the New Fight for Free Enterprise, a multi-year effort to organize, mobilize, and make the case for free enterprise everywhere public opinion is shaped, public policy is made, and future generations learn what it takes for people and communities to thrive.
