From the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce
Representative Rich Brauer received The Champion of the Free Enterprise Award from the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. The award was presented at The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce’s board meeting in February.
The Illinois Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize legislators that have made special contributions in the defense of free enterprise, and the furtherance of economic opportunities for Illinoisans.
The Champion of the Free Enterprise Award is based on The Illinois Chamber’s rating system. The ratings are based on legislators’ votes on the key business legislation of the 95th General Assembly. The votes in the Senate and House are selected based on their impact on the business community and, to a lesser extent, the gap between opposing views on the issue. The votes are weighted accordingly. In cases where more than one roll call was taken on a bill, the most significant vote impacting the resolution of the issue has been selected.
Legislators with Illinois Chamber ratings averaging 85% or better over the previous three General Assemblies have demonstrated their commitment to legislation that frees the entrepreneurial spirit and qualify for the award.
