U.S. Chamber of Commerce Honors Dennis Ross

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce honored U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., part of the House leadership as senior deputy whip, with the Spirit of Enterprise award on Wednesday.

The federal government does not create jobs, small businesses in our local communities do, said Ross. Today, I am honored to receive the Spirit of Enterprise Award, and proud to support pro-growth policies that strengthen our economy and create jobs across Central Florida and the Tampa Bay region.

For 50 years, through our How They Voted scorecard, the U.S. Chamber has been recognizing legislators from both sides of the aisle who have worked to pass legislation and enact policies that bolster our countrys economy, create jobs and keep our nations spirit of enterprise alive, said Thomas Donohue, the president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber. The Spirit of Enterprise Award honors those members of Congress like Congressman Dennis Ross who has recognized the need and shown a commitment to pro-growth policies in the second session of the 113th Congress.
