HERMANTOWN, MN – Today, Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) received the prestigious Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for his support of pro-growth policies in 2019. The award was presented virtually by representatives of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce here in Minnesota in coordination with the Hermantown Chamber of Commerce. Upon receiving this award, Congressman Stauber made the following statement:

"My number one priority in Congress has always been to help create jobs and ensure more Minnesotans experience the American Dream, so I was honored to receive the Spirit of Enterprise Award this afternoon. As our nation works to recover from this pandemic, this mission has become more important than ever. Therefore, I will continue fighting for policies that grow our economy, create opportunities for Minnesotans, and set us firmly back on the path towards prosperity."

U.S. Chamber CEO, Thomas J. Donohue made the following statement, "In these uncertain times with daunting economic and social challenges facing our nation, it is imperative that leaders in Washington are focused on propelling American businesses forward to create jobs and economic growth from California to Maine. As we rebuild our economy, legislators must lead by pursuing bipartisan solutions that create jobs and promote a free enterprise system. I'm proud to recognize these 259 Members of Congress for their commitment to driving opportunity and prosperity in America's workforce and on Main Streets across the nation."
