Aderholt Awarded Chamber of Commerce Spirit of Enterprise Award
In recognition of his strong support of pro-growth jobs initiatives in the 112th Congress
Washington, D.C.— Today, Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04), along with Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-05), was awarded the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Spirit of Enterprise Award at the Shoals Chamber of Commerce Luncheon.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the greatest engine of innovation, growth and job creation,” said Aderholt. “It is an honor to receive the Chamber’s Spirit of Enterprise Award this morning and to be in such great company with the business and community leaders of the Shoals Chamber of Commerce.”
“This award is given based upon a voting record build on opposing higher taxes and reducing bureaucratic red tape so that small business can thrive and create jobs. I am proud to support initiatives that reduce barriers to innovation and growth and remain committed to supporting policies that help small businesses do what they do best, create American jobs.” concluded Aderholt.
The Chamber’s prestigious Spirit of Enterprise Award is given out annually to members of Congress based on important business issues outlined in the Chamber publication How They Voted.
The Chamber scored Congress on 16 House votes in 2011, including the repeal of the 1099 tax reporting requirements, the 3% withholding from contractors, and the President's healthcare law.
Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security for the powerful House Appropriations Committee, is a member of the Committee’s Commerce, Justice and Science; and Agriculture Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
