Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry announces 2020 legislative endorsements

Chamber endorses bipartisan slate of incumbents and challengers committed to fostering pro-growth agenda, ready to help Arizona rebound strongly

 

PHOENIX (June 18, 2020)—The Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry has made its 2020 primary election endorsements for the state Legislature.

“We believe we have endorsed a slate of outstanding candidates who are all committed to advancing public policy that makes Arizona more economically competitive,” Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry President and CEO Glenn Hamer said. “Arizona is counting on their leadership to develop the policies necessary to emerge from the pandemic just as we entered it—with one of the nation’s strongest economies.”

The Chamber maintains a rigorous process for supporting individuals for the Legislature. Incumbent legislative candidates were evaluated based on their voting record as it relates to the Chamber policy agenda and their commitment to enhancing Arizona’s competitive standing. Challenger candidates were asked to complete a questionnaire about their policy positions before participating in an 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.

“This is a challenging time for Arizona job creators,” Hamer said. “But these candidates and incumbents – Republicans and Democrats – are committed to ensuring Arizona’s best days are ahead. We look forward to working with them to ensure Arizona maintains its reputation for being one of the nation’s best states to build a business, invest, and grow.”

Following the primary election, the Chamber board of directors may issue supplementary endorsements for the general election.
