Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) received the "Spirit of Enterprise" Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This prestigious award is presented annually to members of Congress based on their support of pro-growth policies that boost job creation, create an environment conducive to economic growth, and make American companies large and small more competitive across the globe.

"Entrepreneurship, hard work, and innovation are cornerstones of the free market system and are emblematic of the economic success West Michigan has been blessed with," said Huizenga. "I am humbled to receive this award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for taking West Michigan's 'can do' attitude to Washington and fighting for the pro-growth, private sector solutions that have made the Lakeshore and the Greater Grand Rapids Area a driving force behind Michigan's recovery."

"In the face of high-stakes politics and difficult choices, Representative Huizenga provided America's job creators with a strong voice in Congress," said Thomas J. Donohue, President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber. "This award recognizes Representative Huizenga for consistently demonstrating his support for pro-growth policies."
