The Grand Rapids Area Chamber officially endorsed Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley who is seeking the republican nomination for Governor. Rick Baker, President & CEO of the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce said of their endorsement that they believe he is qualified to maintain Michigan’s come-back trajectory—in reference to the economic recovery following the recession.
The endorsement comes through the chamber’s Political Action Committee, Friends of West Michigan Business. It credits Calley with having an active role in balancing the state’s budget and “significantly improving the tax climate while investing in Michigan roads and bridges.”
