House Majority Whip Jason Nemes was recognized with the Kentucky Chamber MVP Award on July 24 by Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts and Chamber Vice President of Policy Charles Aull.
Rep. Nemes was among a select group of legislators who “went to bat” for Kentucky business during the 2025 Kentucky General Assembly by displaying conspicuous actions to strengthen business, improve competitiveness, and ensure growth.
Recipients of the Kentucky Chamber MVP Award show strong leadership for the business community by sponsoring or carrying Chamber priority legislation to final passage, showing leadership on passage of critical legislation to improve Kentucky, or by taking hard votes in defense of business.
During the 2025 session, Rep. Nemes was a co-sponsor of House Bill 398, legislation to align Kentucky’s occupational safety and health standards with federal rules. He played a significant role in moving the bill through the House and working with stakeholders during its Senate passage. As a member of House leadership, he also played an important role in key tax reform legislation.
“House Majority Whip Nemes continues to be a strong advocate for Kentucky’s business community and a reliable leader on issues that drive economic growth,” said Watts. “His work aligning state and federal standards and his leadership in advancing tax reform demonstrate a clear commitment to creating a more competitive and business-friendly Kentucky. We are proud to recognize his efforts with this well-deserved MVP Award.”
The 2025 General Assembly advanced many top priorities of the Kentucky business community, and the pro-growth policies that passed saved Kentucky businesses an estimated $1.084 billion, or $629 for each employer in the Commonwealth.
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.
