Cheryl Musgrave, candidate for State Representative in House District 77, announced today that she had been endorsed by the Jobs for Southwestern Indiana, the political arm of the Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana.
“I particularly appreciate this endorsement,†said Musgrave. “The Chamber of Commerce for Southwest Indiana is made up of people in Evansville and surrounding areas who know both my record on jobs, and that of my opponent. To have their support is very important.â€
In announcing the endorsement, Jeff Mulzer, co-chair of Jobs for Southwest Indiana, stated, “As the former Commissioner of the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) and local government official, Cheryl has a unique skill set and knowledge base that will be a great asset in the ongoing debates over continued reform of local government.â€
“To grow jobs in Indiana we must keep taxes low, and part of that is reducing government size and spending,†Musgrave said. “As your state representative I will work to foster an environment for jobs, including cutting spending, keeping taxes low, and improving education.â€
This is the fourth business group to endorse Musgrave. The Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, and the Indiana Manufacturer’s Association all endorse her.
