NC Chamber Names 98 Jobs Champions in Legislative Scorecard

How They Voted Publication Tracks Legislators’ Voting Record on Key Business Issues

RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC Chamber today released the 2019 edition of its annual legislative scorecard, How They Voted. How They Voted details lawmakers’ voting records on key bills identified as critical to preserving and enhancing a positive climate for business and job creation in North Carolina. With 98 Jobs Champions and 11 Jobs Advocates, this publication demonstrates that the statewide business community had another successful session at the North Carolina General Assembly.

“In an increasingly volatile political environment, it’s more important than ever that business leaders and job creators have the unbiased, objective facts about how their legislators performed when given the opportunity to stand up for them,” said Ray Starling, general counsel at the NC Chamber. “This legislative session saw a number of wins for growing North Carolina’s competitive business climate, strengthening our world-class workforce, and improving our state’s infrastructure networks—thanks to a dedicated group of lawmakers who fought for pro-jobs policies.”

How They Voted details voting percentages for legislators based solely on their voting and sponsorship/cosponsorship records on the bills identified by the NC Chamber team as critical to the statewide business community. Lawmakers who vote with the Jobs Agenda at least 80 percent of the time are named Jobs Champions. New this year, lawmakers who scored at least 70 percent and improved over their lifetime record by at least 10 percent were named Jobs Advocates.
