The Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry is backing U.S. Sen. John McCain’s re-election bid.
McCain’s campaign announced the endorsement Friday.
The senior senator is seeking his fifth term. He faces a Republican primary challenge from former Scottsdale congressman and radio talk show host J.D. Hayworth.
“Throughout his congressional career, Sen. McCain has been a consistent champion for our state and country’s entrepreneurial spirit and for policies that encourage job creation and free enterprise,” Arizona Chamber President and CEO Glenn Hamer said in a prepared
statement. “In this past year alone, Sen. McCain has stood strong against job killing legislation like card check and has injected the debate over health care with much-needed real world perspective. The Arizona Chamber is proud to make this much-deserved endorsement.”
State chamber members include Phoenix-based beer distributor Hensley & Co. McCain’s wife, Cindy Hensley McCain, is the company’s chairwoman, and Hensley Vice President Doug Yonko is a vice chairman of the chamber.
