Glenn Hamer
A hotly contested primary election season is almost in the books. Many of you have already voted by mail, but for those of you who will be headed to the polls on Tuesday, here are the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s recommendations.
We are excited to endorse these 23 Senate, 33 House and three Arizona Corporation Commission candidates who share the Chamber’s pro-business, jobs-friendly agenda.
The Chamber maintains a rigorous process for supporting individuals for elected office. Incumbent legislative and ACC candidates were evaluated based on their voting record as it relates to the Chamber policy agenda and their commitment to growing and attracting business in Arizona, while challenger candidates were asked to complete a questionnaire about their policy positions before participating in a candidate interview with members of the Chamber Public Affairs Committee.
The Public Affairs Committee made recommendations for candidate endorsements to the Board of Directors, which ultimately voted on the final endorsements.
