STATEHOUSE (May 12, 2016) — State Rep. Todd Huston (R-Fishers) earned a perfect score on the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s annual Legislative Vote Analysis for his support of pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation.
Huston’s score is based on his performance during the 2016 session of the Indiana General Assembly and his votes cast in agreement with the Indiana Chamber’s position on certain bills, including measures providing road funding, workforce education and scholarships to top-performing Hoosier students who enter the teaching field.
“The Legislative Vote Analysis is an important source of information for thousands of Indiana employers and citizens,” states Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar. “The purpose is to keep Hoosiers informed about what’s going on at the Indiana Statehouse and how their legislators are voting on issues vital to the state’s economic future and their own. This report makes it clear which legislators support pro-economy, pro-jobs bills and which legislators do not.”
Indiana is one of the most business-friendly states in the country, recently ranking first in the Midwest and among the top five in the nation for best business climate, according to Chief Executive’s annual “Best & Worst States for Business” ranking.
“Fishers is a thriving community for growing companies like STANLEY Security Systems and Braden Business Systems, which recently chose our community as their corporate headquarters,” Huston said. “I will continue to support legislation that builds upon the progress Fishers is making in becoming a technology hub with Launch Fishers, a retail destination with the addition of IKEA and economic leader for our state’s economy.”
In addition to his high score, Huston received a star designation recognizing legislators who demonstrated overall leadership or made significant contributions on specific business issues of critical importance to the chamber.
Huston received a four-year aggregate score of 97 percent.
