The U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced today that it’s endorsing Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the state’s May 18 Senate primary.
The TPM Poll Average shows Rand Paul leading Grayson in the Republican Senate primary 42.3% to 25.3%.
Chamber President Tom Donohue said this in his endorsement letter: “It is the Chamber’s goal to help elect a pro-business Congress and work diligently in the interests of businesses large and small to advance legislation that encourages economic growth, job creation and a less intrusive federal government. Your support of pro-business issues earned this endorsement.”
“I’m grateful to have the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its members who share my agenda,” Grayson said in a statement. “I’m running for U.S. Senate, because I’m fed up with the Obama agenda of more government, out-of-control spending, increased deficits and job-killing policies.”
