SENATOR BRANDON STORM RECOGNIZED AS LEGISLATIVE MVP FOR KENTUCKY BUSINESSES
FRANKFORT, KY (October 19, 2023) — Sen. Brandon Storm, R-London, has been named a recipient of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce's MVP award for his commitment to ensuring Kentucky's economic growth, creating and retaining jobs, strengthening businesses and improving competitiveness throughout the commonwealth.
"This recognition really means a lot to me because I serve as a voice in the legislature for a growing region of our state and I truly enjoy working with our local chambers of commerce and of course the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce," Storm said. "It's an honor to be recognized, but even more so to be able to advocate alongside my friends and colleagues in the business community of critical issues like fighting to reduce working Kentuckians' income taxes, safe and effective addiction recovery, common sense justice legislation, combatting workforce challenges and so much more."
According to the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, this year's MVP recipients showed strong leadership for the business community by sponsoring or carrying Kentucky Chamber priority legislation to final passage, showing leadership on the passage of critical legislation to improve Kentucky, or by taking hard votes in defense of business.
Notably, Storm supported the business community's position against legislation that would have significantly increased business costs and he also supported Kentucky's signature industries.
Storm is one of only 14 recipients of the 2023 award.
"The business community greatly appreciates Sen. Storm's support and leadership this past session," said Katie Shanks, senior vice president of public affairs for the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.
"He stood with businesses against costly legislation that would have created new, complicated requirements. He also showed leadership as vice chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, and voted for legislation critical to Kentucky's signature equine industry. We look forward to working with Sen. Storm in the upcoming session to continue efforts to make Kentucky the best place to do business."
