Congressman McCaul Wins 4th Straight U.S. Chamber Award
Recognized for Support of Business AUSTIN – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce presented Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX 10) with the prestigious Spirit of Enterprise Award, for his continued support of pro-growth legislation during the last session of Congress. “Businesses are the economic engine of this great nation. Especially during a recession our priority should be to help businesses succeed by creating a business-friendly environment with reasonable tax burdens and responsible regulations that won’t stifle job creation,” said Rep. McCaul. Eligibility for the award is based on how Members of Congress vote on key business issues, which the Chamber outlines in its yearly publication How They Voted. These designated “key votes” are recorded floor votes on issues that the Chamber establishes as priorities prior to the vote. Those members of Congress who support the Chamber’s position on at least 70% of those votes receive the Spirit of Enterprise Award. Congressman McCaul has earned the Spirit of Enterprise Award every year since he was first elected to Congress. Rep. McCaul’s votes against the Wall Street Bailout and his vote to override the President’s veto of the Farm Bill cost him a perfect score this year. The U.S. Chamber is the world’s largest business federation representing more than 3 million businesses of every size, sector, and region. |
