The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed Richard Hanna, who last night, defeated Claudia Tenney in the Republican Primary. Chamber officials were in Norwich recently to make their endorsement announcement at Curtis Lumber on Hale Street. For the third year in a row, Hanna received the Commerce's prestigious "Spirit of Enterprise Award," which is given annually to members of Congress based on rankings of key votes.

Hanna is a 30 year business owner in upstate New York, and according to Chamber representatives, earned their endorsement because of his support on pro-business issues.
