Featured Candidates
Throughout our recovery, economic growth has remained slow and unemployment remains high. The only thing that’s seen exponential growth is the size of our government. Leading into the 2012 elections, it’s important for Americans to know where their candidates stand on issues that will create growth and allow job creators to resume hiring. The U.S. Chamber has identified key House and Senate where there is a fundamental difference between the candidates on key business issues. Vote For Jobs is your one-stop shop for election tools, recent polling, voting records, and positions on pro-growth, pro-jobs legislation. Candidate comparisons will highlight each candidate’s voting record on legislation that is critical to our recovery.
