U.S. Chamber Of Commerce Honors Capito With Spirit Of Enterprise Award

Press Release

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce honored Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., with the coveted Spirit of Enterprise Award for supporting pro-business policies in the 111th Congress. Capito is one of only a handful of Members to be recognized as having a 100% pro-business voting record.

"The only way to get our economy back on track and people back to work is by empowering small businesses and encouraging pro-growth policies. When employers are weeding through burdensome, unnecessary regulations and worrying about the threat of higher taxes, they can't focus on what they do best--creating jobs," stated Capito. "I look forward to working with the U.S. Chamber, as well as local Chambers in West Virginia, to give job creators the tools and resources they need to expand and hire."

According to their website, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations. More than 96% of U.S. Chamber members are small businesses with 100 employees or fewer.
