Senator Chris McDaniel received Kentucky Chamber of Commerce MVP Award which was presented at the recent Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Eggs n’ Issues luncheon.
In making the award, the Kentucky Chamber cited that Sen. McDaniel was among a select group of legislators who “went to bat” for Kentucky business during the 2024 Kentucky General Assembly by displaying conspicuous actions to strengthen business, improve competitiveness, and ensure growth.
Recipients of the Kentucky Chamber MVP Award “show strong leadership for the business community by sponsoring or carrying Chamber priority legislation to final passage, showing leadership on passage of critical legislation to improve Kentucky, or by taking hard votes in defense of business.”
As chair of the Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee, Sen. McDaniel played an influential role in passing Kentucky’s two-year state budget during the 2024 session. In addition to child care funding, the budget also invested in key areas of education, workforce, and economic development.
The 2024 General Assembly advanced many top priorities of the Kentucky business community, and the pro-growth policies that passed saved Kentucky businesses an estimated $1.006 billion, or $589 for each employer in the Commonwealth, the Kentucky Chamber said in a press release.
