Today the U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed Congressman James Lankford.
U.S. Chamber Senior Vice President and National Political Director, Rob Engstrom announced the Chamber’s endorsement at a meeting of top business leaders in Oklahoma City this morning.
“James Lankford is the right voice for job creators in the United States Senate. James Lankford’s 92% lifetime rating with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce demonstrates his commitment to our job-creating entrepreneurs and the American Free-Enterprise system. He understands that too much taxation, litigation and regulation is the wrong prescription to fix our ailing economy. A vote for jobs is a vote for James Lankford for U.S. Senate,” Engstrom said.
“I am honored to be recognized by the U.S. Chamber,” Lankford said. “We must take real steps to get the federal government out of our daily lives and turn our economy around.”
“Our tax code is entirely too long, too complicated and it redistributes wealth instead of creating equal opportunity and encouraging growth. With partners like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, we can reform the tax code, balance the budget and win back the American people’s trust in their government,” Lankford concluded.
Along with strong support from voters across Oklahoma, Lankford has culminated a long list of endorsements from conservative leaders and groups including The National Federation of Independent Business, Concerned Women Political Action Committee, Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum PAC, Governor Mike Huckabee, Governor Mitt Romney, Senator Rand Paul, Chairman Paul Ryan, Chairman Darrell Issa, Governor Bobby Jindal, Ambassador John Bolton and Jay Sekulow among others.
