“I’ve been committed to working with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to champion bipartisan policies that support our small businesses in the 39th District. I’m grateful for U.S. Chamber President Suzanne Clark and the Chamber of Commerce for honoring me with the Abraham Lincoln Leadership for America Award,” said Rep. Cisneros. “As a former small businesses owner, I won’t stop fighting for bipartisan legislation that helps our small businesses and workers. I’ll continue to work across the aisle to get our economy back on track and put people back to work safely.”

“Now more than ever, our nation needs elected leaders with the courage to pursue common ground and bold, bipartisan solutions to America’s greatest challenges,” said U.S. Chamber President Suzanne Clark. “These awards honor the deserving members of Congress that are forging common-sense sense solutions, working across the aisle, to enact lasting and meaningful reforms. In the days ahead, Congress must work together and support our nation’s free enterprise principles that will help bring our economy back to strength and put our people back to work. Last year, the U.S. Chamber pledged to heighten our focus and reward bipartisan leadership and constructive governing, and we are now making good on that promise today,” Clark added.”
