Missouri Chamber of Commerce endorses Dave Spence for governor

(Missouri Digital News) -- The Missouri Chamber of Commerce is endorsing Republican Dave Spence in his bid to unseat incumbent Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.

Citing Spence's business background, Dan Mehan, president of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, announced the organization is endorsing Spence.

Mehan said he thinks Spence is the best candidate for the job.

"That's what we need right now. We need to show the world and the global economy that Missouri's going to put on an aggressive push to be that place that employers are confident that they can expand their operation or locate in Missouri and that we're going to be absolutely pro-jobs and pro-business and friendly to those entrepreneurs out there that are going to pull us out of a sluggish economy," he said.

Nixon's campaign manager said in an email that Nixon has helped make Missouri's business climate one of the strongest in the nation since taking office.
