MENTOR, OH – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced today its endorsement of Senator Jon Husted to represent Ohio in the U.S. Senate at a free enterprise event in Mentor, Ohio. 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 event was a stop on the Chamber’s Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour, a national six-week bus tour promoting free enterprise.
Sen. Jon Husted and the U.S. Chamber’s Senior Vice President Tom Sullivan toured Alloy Precision Technologies, a manufacturer of precision-engineered components for the aerospace, defense, energy, and medical industries. The discussion reinforced how investments in technology and innovation support long-term growth, helping manufacturers increase productivity, expand their workforce, and compete globally.
"Senator Jon Husted is a proven fighter for Ohio. He has tirelessly worked to bring jobs, economic growth and investment to the Buckeye State, creating new opportunities for workers, businesses and families to thrive. He is a Senator Ohio can rely on, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is proud to be in Mentor today to show our support for Sen. Jon Husted and endorse him for reelection," said Tom Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Small Business Policy at 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.
