On Friday, House Speaker David Osborne was presented the Chamber MVP Award at the 2022 Legislative Preview Conference by Kentucky Chamber Chair Diane Medley, MCM CPAs and Advisors, and Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts. Osborne was among a select group of legislators who “went to bat” for Kentucky business during the 2021 Kentucky General Assembly.
Recipients of the 2021 Kentucky Chamber MVP Award showed strong leadership for the business community by sponsoring or carrying Kentucky Chamber priority legislation, showing leadership on passage of critical legislation to improve Kentucky, or by taking hard votes in defense of business.
During the 2021 session, House Speaker David Osborne was crucial to passing and supporting the Chamber’s top issues including COVID-19 liability protections for employers, appropriating funds to pay down the federal unemployment insurance loan, and protecting historical horse racing.
“The business community wants to recognize the legislators who went out of their way to help Kentucky’s economy get back on track after such an unprecedented year,” said Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts. “It is critical we continue to work together as we recover and rebuild for a stronger tomorrow.”
While monitoring the progress of bills that create a better business climate and advance the Commonwealth, the Chamber tracks how each legislator votes on these bills. The Chamber’s MVP award recipients displayed more than just a business-friendly voting record, but also went out of their way, and at times across party lines, to support or oppose an issue critical to the business climate in Kentucky.
