U.S. Chamber of Commerce Recognizes Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet with the Advocate for American Business Award during the National Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour

GRAND BLANC, MICHIGAN - The U.S. Chamber's Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer, Neil Bradley, today presented Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-MI-08) with the Advocate for American Business award while visiting Great Harvest Bread Company in Grand Blanc, MI.

"The U.S. Chamber is proud to recognize Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet with the Advocate for American Business Award during the Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour. Rep. McDonald Rivet has shown a commitment to advancing commonsense policies that support economic growth and expand opportunity for American families and businesses. We look forward to continuing to work with her to promote free enterprise solutions that help businesses, workers, and communities succeed," Bradley said.

Neil Bradley and Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet were joined today by Leigh LaForest, President of the Grand Blanc Chamber of Commerce, Andrew Younger, Executive Director, Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce, and Scott Sassack, owner of the Great Harvest Bread Company, to present the award at the bakery.

Great Harvest Bread Company has been serving the Grand Blanc region since 2003, when the business was established by Scott and his father, Bob Sassack.

The national Free Enterprise Express Opportunity Tour is a six-week trip through 20 states and more than 50 events to make the case for free enterprise in communities across America and push back against growing support for government-directed economic policies that threaten economic freedom, opportunity, innovation, and growth.

The effort is part of a broader Chamber initiative, the New Fight for Free Enterprise, a multi-year effort to organize, mobilize, and make the case for free enterprise everywhere public opinion is shaped, public policy is made, and future generations learn what it takes for people and communities to thrive.
