FORT WAYNE, IN – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Rep. Marlin Stutzman for Indiana’s Third Congressional District at a free enterprise event in Fort Wayne. The event was a stop on the Chamber’s Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour, a national six-week bus tour promoting 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 Free Enterprise Express made a stop in Fort Wayne, where Rep. Stutzman was joined by Jeff Brantley of the Indiana Chamber, Bill Konyha of Northeast Regional, and Kathy Zhu, Manager of the Great Lakes Region for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. During the endorsement event, speakers emphasized the importance of electing free enterprise advocates to Congress and advancing policies that address affordability pressures on small businesses, enabling them to hire, invest, and expand.
“The U.S. Chamber is proud to be in Fort Wayne today to endorse Rep. Marlin Stutzman to represent Indiana’s 3rd congressional district. A businessman, Congressman Stutzman knows the importance of pro-growth policies that allow local businesses, workers, and communities to thrive, especially in Indiana's farming and rural communities. We are proud to support him, and we look forward to working together next Congress,” said Kathy Zhu, Manager of the Great Lakes Region for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
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.
