As a part of the Chamber’s strategic plan, beginning in 2023, we will now track votes of local elected officials on issues of importance to the Chamber or business community at-large.
Report Cards for all Chamber-backed votes for the 2023 calendar year will be analyzed and a regular tally will be shared and updated on our website and other platforms. This initiative is similar to what the Chamber already does by tracking the votes of our state lawmakers in Tallahassee.
The Chamber’s commitment to elected leaders is to share the business community’s perspectives in advance of any votes they make on issues of importance. The Chamber urges elected leaders to consider the feedback of local job creators as they make their deliberations prior to voting.
