US Chamber of Commerce: Jane Norton for US Senate

The US Chamber of Commerce announced their endorsement of Jane Norton this morning. They looked closely at everyone that applied for the endorsement and settled on Jane. Her track record at the Colorado Department of Health, capping non-economic damage awards and creating a “Mandate-Lite” model for small businesses, is solidly conservative.

Politico, The Hill, and the Denver Business Journal were on the call. They asked about the Chamber’s recent loss in KY. The Chamber said “you win some, you lose some. Overall, the Chamber has a good track record and we are not going to sacrifice our position” on free trade, reasonable spending, manageable deficits, and sustainable health care.

What about the polls putting Ken ahead by double digits? They say the polls are all over the place. This is an endorsement of Jane, not a rejection of Ken, and Jim DeMint has lost more than his fair share.

The Chamber wants to create 20 million jobs in 10 years. They think Jane is best placed to win the Primary and the General Election and to be an effective legislator.
