Rep. Kustoff Recognized with U.S. Chamber’s Spirit of Enterprise Award

Memphis, Tennessee – The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has honored U.S. Representative David Kustoff (TN-08) with its Spirit of Enterprise Award, given in recognition of his support for pro-growth policies in the first session of the 115th Congress.

"It's a good time to be doing business in America, thanks to a slate of legislative accomplishments that laid the groundwork for more economic growth and job creation," said Thomas J. Donohue, President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "These efforts to advance commonsense, growth-oriented legislation will help Main Street American businesses thrive. We commend David Kustoff for his commitment to promoting and protecting American free enterprise and economic prosperity."

"It is an honor to receive the U.S. Chamber's Spirit of Enterprise Award for my commitment to supporting small businesses in West Tennessee," said Congressman Kustoff. "As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, I am focused on rolling back unnecessary regulations so that our local businesses and smaller financial institutions can thrive and better serve our communities."

The prestigious Spirit of Enterprise Award is given annually to members of Congress who vote in favor of important legislation that encourages economic growth and job creation.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation representing the interests of more than 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations.

Congressman Kustoff is a member of the House Financial Services Committee, serving on three subcommittees for the 115th Congress: Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, Oversight and Investigation and Terrorism and Illicit Finance. He previously served as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee under President George W. Bush.
