U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Willsboro, received a 100 percent score on a new U.S. Chamber of Commerce scorecard, based on her voting record in 2015.

The chamber on Tuesday presented Stefanik with its "Spirit of Enterprise" award, recognizing her support of the chamber's "free enterprise" legislative priorities.

"We are pleased to recognize Congresswoman Stefanik for engaging in pro-business policy making that helps strengthen our nation's spirit of enterprise," said Tom Donohue, president and chief executive officer of U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in a press release.

Scores for New York House Republicans ranged from 85 to 100.

Scores for New York House Democrats ranged from 37 to 65.

Stefanik is running for re-election in November against Democrat Mike Derrick, a retired Army colonel from Peru, in Clinton County, and Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello, a bread company owner and political activist from Hudson Falls.
