U.S. Chamber Endorses Rep. John Rutherford for Florida’s Fifth District

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of Rep. John Rutherford for Florida's 5th district. The U.S. Chamber endorses candidates for federal office who will support policies that drive innovation, grow the economy, and create opportunities for American businesses and workers.

"Congressman John Rutherford has delivered real results for Florida's 5th Congressional District, championing pro-growth tax reform that helps local businesses invest, hire, and compete, while fighting for the infrastructure investments Northeast Florida needs to keep goods and people moving. His leadership on these priorities has made a tangible difference for job creators throughout the district and we're proud to endorse his reelection campaign," said Brince Manning, Senior Manager of the Southeastern Regional Team at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. I've always believed that a strong economy starts with affordability, supporting our job creators, cutting burdensome regulations, and creating an environment where businesses can grow and succeed," said Rep. Rutherford. "I'll continue fighting to bring more jobs and investment to Northeast Florida and ensure every hardworking family has the opportunity to earn a good-paying job, provide for their family, and achieve the American Dream."
