U.S. Representative Mike McIntyre recently received the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Spirit of Enterprise” Award, representing his support on key issues of importance to American business.

In announcing the award, the President and CEO of the Chamber, Thomas Donohue, stated, “2013 was challenging, but Congressman McIntyre worked to pass legislation and enact policies that will keep our country moving forward economically. The Spirit of Enterprise Award recognizes legislators like Congressman McIntyre who have demonstrated their commitment to supporting pro-growth policies in the 113th Congress.”

The Chamber awards the “Spirit of Enterprise” based on rankings it gives members of Congress in its annual publication, How They Voted.  In 2013, the Chamber scored members of Congress on thirteen House votes, including decisions on issues such as healthcare reform, energy, and various budget levels.
