During the 2007 Kansas Legislative Session, a number of Pro-Jobs Legislators distinguished themselves through their votes and their actions to support the tenets of free enterprise and to move Kansas towards becoming the best state in America for small businesses.
"The Chamber's Pro-Jobs Legislators come from all corners of the state," says Interim CEO Terry Leatherman. "As part of The Chamber's efforts to hold legislators accountable for votes that impact the business climate in Kansas , we want to take an extra step to recognize them positively and publicly for their pro-business support," he adds.
The Chamber encourages members to let their individual legislators know how appreciative our Kansas employers are for the support of Pro-Jobs Legislators.
"These Pro-Jobs Kansas Legislators are absolutely vital to the many lobbying successes that The Chamber has achieved for small business this year specifically, to lower business taxes as well as Unemployment Compensation taxes," Leatherman says.
To make The Kansas Chamber's list of pro-business legislators, policy-makers exhibit a supportive voting record that reflects a pro-employer approach to public policy decisions as well as exhibit a behind-the-scenes leadership approach to improving the Kansas business climate.
Pro-Jobs Legislators are helping The Chamber to move Kansas towards becoming the best state in America to do business by reducing the costs of doing business in order to allow our companies to become more productive.
Among the list was Representative Ronnie Metsker of District 24 serving Mission , Roeland Park and Overland Park .
