Senate Majority Floor Leader Max Wise was presented the Kentucky Chamber MVP Award by Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts during an event at Campbellsville University in recognition of his leadership during the 2026 Kentucky General Assembly.
Leader Wise was among a select group of legislators who went above and beyond to advance policies that strengthen Kentucky’s economy, support employers, and improve the Commonwealth’s competitiveness.
Recipients of the Kentucky Chamber MVP Award demonstrate exceptional leadership for Kentucky’s business community by sponsoring or carrying Chamber priority legislation to final passage, leading on critical policy issues, or taking difficult votes in support of a stronger business climate.
During the 2026 legislative session, Leader Wise demonstrated strong leadership for Kentucky businesses by guiding key legislation through the Senate, including several priority measures for the Kentucky Chamber. He was also a vocal supporter of civil liability reform legislation.
“Leader Wise has been a consistent leader for Kentucky’s business community,” said Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts. “He recognizes how the decisions made in Frankfort impact employers, communities, and opportunities for Kentuckians, and he has helped move important priorities forward. We are grateful for his continued commitment to advancing the Commonwealth.”
The 2026 General Assembly made progress on many top priorities of the Kentucky business community, and the pro-growth policies that passed saved Kentucky businesses an estimated $1.564 billion, or $911 per private-sector employee in the Commonwealth.
While monitoring legislation that impacts Kentucky’s business climate, the Kentucky Chamber tracks lawmakers’ support for policies that help employers grow, create jobs, and invest in their communities. MVP Award recipients distinguish themselves not only through their voting records but through their leadership in advancing solutions that strengthen Kentucky’s economy.
