Today, U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) was recognized with the Spirit of Enterprise award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for his work in Congress to help small businesses create jobs and spur economic growth.

“I am proud to support the dozens of pro-growth, pro-jobs bills that have passed the House of Representatives. While this administration continues to believe our economy is improving, I have heard from countless small business owners and employees throughout central and eastern Missouri who suggest otherwise. The only way to reverse these tough economic times is to continue is to get our nation on a pro-growth, pro-job course. I am proud to receive this award on behalf of the people of the 3^rd Congressional District who I work for each day to improve our economy and the quality of life of our citizens.”

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest business organization representing the interests of more than three million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions.
