Rep. Karickhoff: Working for Jobs

STATEHOUSE- The annual Legislative Vote Analysis completed by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce ranked Rep. Karickhoff  as having a 93  percent when it comes to having a pro-jobs voting record.
 
“Indiana’s economy is that of one of the strongest in the nation.  Employer’s and Hoosiers recognize the important job bills being passed by the General Assembly,” said Rep. Karickhoff.
 
"We want employers and citizens to take note of this report because it makes it very clear which legislators were supportive of bettering Indiana's economic climate and which were not," stated Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar.

The Chamber’s Vote Analysis has been produced for the past 28 years after every legislative session. The legislator’s scores are determined by his or her votes on particular bills and select amendments where the outcome of those bills and amendments on the state’s economy would have an impact on Indiana businesses.
 
“The Chamber of Commerce is an organization dedicated to helping small businesses and facilitating entrepreneurship: two key factors needed to bring more jobs for Hoosiers and to keep our economy strong and even stronger,” Rep. Karickhoff.

Over the past eight years, House Republicans have built the best toolbox in the Midwest and arguably the nation when it comes to creating a climate for job growth. According to the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Indiana is number one in the Midwest and ranks eleventh nationally as having the friendliest tax climate for business. Indiana was also ranked as the number one state in biosciences.
