Raleigh, NC. – The NC Chamber Political Action Committee (PAC) has endorsed Tom Murry in his bid for election to the State House. The NC Chamber PAC is the political arm of the North Carolina Chamber, North Carolina’s leading statewide business advocacy organization.

“Tom Murry’s experience and knowledge of key issues tied to economic recovery and job retention and creation is what North Carolina needs at a critical time for our state,” said Lew Ebert, NC Chamber President and CEO and member of the Chamber’s PAC Board. “At a time of record-high unemployment, families and small businesses are struggling to stay afloat. The NC Chamber PAC’s endorsement tells voters that Tom Murry understands what it takes to create and keep good jobs and get our economy growing again.”

According to Ebert, the 2010 election is critical because of how hard North Carolina has been hit by the global recession. “As North Carolina employers struggle to survive this sluggish economy, the importance of the upcoming elections has never been greater,” Ebert said. “It is imperative that voters elect qualified, business-minded legislators like Tom Murry to the North Carolina General Assembly.”
