The Illinois Chamber of Commerce recently honored Sen. Radogno with its “Champion of Free Enterprise” award. The award is given to Illinois lawmakers whose voting records demonstrate a commitment to the state’s employers and support of legislation that stimulates economic growth.

“One of the most important things I do as a lawmaker is support initiatives that will bring jobs to Illinois. The best way to grow jobs is to support the business owners who employ Illinois residents,” Radogno said. “I’m proud to receive this recognition. Moving forward, stimulating employment and supporting economic development is the key to Illinois’ financial recovery.”

The Illinois Chamber of Commerce recognizes legislators with the Champion of Free Enterprise Award if over the past three legislative sessions he or she had an average of 85 percent or better voting record on pro-jobs issues.
