The following message was released to members of the N.C. General Assembly this morning.

The NC Chamber congratulates those elected to the N.C. General Assembly on Tuesday. Our team looks forward to working with you to maintain and advance a competitive business climate that grows private-sector jobs as outlined in the NC Chamber’s forthcoming 2023 Jobs Agenda.

Our state’s diverse business community recognizes that, at times, you may address complex, sensitive, and controversial issues, we trust you will do so with balance, respect, and an eye on maintaining North Carolina’s status as a top state to live and work.

Our goal, as the state’s largest and most diverse business organization, will be to never surprise you, maintain high visibility and accessibility when it comes to issues impacting our business climate, and to be direct and communicate our concerns when we believe our status as the leading state for private-sector job creation is at risk.
