Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement after he was named a recipient of the Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for his voting record during the second session of the 113th Congress. This annual award recognizes members of both the House and Senate who voted in favor of pro-growth, pro-jobs legislation as noted in the Chamber's yearly How They Voted publication.

"When American businesses thrive, it follows that all of America benefits as well," said Congressman Cole. " I am honored to be recognized by the U.S. Chamber for my commitment to strengthening and protecting businesses of every size and empowering American entrepreneurs. These are the individuals that help make our country great, and it's important for lawmakers to reinforce the American dream by voting for policies that help them succeed."

"For 50 years, through our How They Voted scorecard, the U.S. Chamber has been recognizing legislators from both sides of the aisle who have worked to pass legislation and enact policies that bolster our country's economy, create jobs and keep our nation's spirit of enterprise alive," U.S. Chamber President and CEO Thomas J. Donohue said. "The Spirit of Enterprise award honors those members of Congress like Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) who has recognized the need and shown a commitment to pro-growth policies in the second session of the 113th Congress."
