The Indiana Chamber has made public its endorsements in contested primary elections for both the General Assembly and Congress. These endorsements don’t automatically carry over to the general election, with those final determinations to be taken up later this summer.
The Chamber’s non-partisan political action committee, Indiana Business for a Responsive Government, makes the endorsements. All selections are based on which candidates would best promote a pro-jobs, pro-economy agenda at the Statehouse and in Washington.
