The Salt Lake Chamber is interested in electing public officials who will support a pro-business agenda. To this end, the organization has launched a new political action committee to be called the Utah Jobs PAC.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}
“The Utah Jobs PAC will allow Utah business leaders to continue to invest in Utah’s future by providing financial support to candidates running for city, county and statewide offices who recognize the importance of economic and community prosperity and champion business success,” the chamber said in a news release last week.
“Advancing a pro-growth, pro-business agenda requires elected officials who understand the vital role Utah’s businesses play in our economy,” said Derek Miller, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber. “Utah Jobs PAC will allow us to sustain the collective voice of business as we work to elect leaders whose policies support economic success, responsible growth and Utah’s exceptional quality of life.”
Miller said the Utah Jobs PAC is a non-partisan political action committee and will be exclusively funded through voluntary, individual contributions from chamber members only. Utah Jobs PAC is registered with the state and, under the oversight of the Lieutenant Governor’s Office, will file regular reports detailing the financial activities of the PAC.{/mprestriction}
