The Kansas Chamber has released its 2013 Pro-Jobs Legislator list based on legislators’ support of sound business policy that strengthens our state’s economy and attracts jobs.

“This session the Legislature tackled many tough issues and tremendous progress was made in many areas that have made Kansas one of the most economically competitive states in the region,” said Kansas Chamber President and CEO Mike O’Neal. “This progress would not have been possible without the work of Representative Sue Boldra (R-Hays). The business community thanks Rep. Boldra for her work to limit government and create jobs in Kansas.”

After each legislative session, the Kansas Chamber identifies lawmakers who voted at least 80 percent of the time to ensure the state’s economic health by supporting a variety of business issues. These issues range from initiatives aimed at creating a more business-friendly tax climate, containing healthcare costs, improving the legal climate, improving the workers compensation and unemployment compensation systems to promoting a fair regulatory structure.
