Job Creators Network Honors Gov. Jeff Colyer with the Bernie Marcus Freedom Fighters Award

Washington DC – Today, Job Creators Network honored Gov. Jeff Colyer with its Bernie Marcus Freedom Fighters Award. Gov. Colyer has long been a steadfast champion of small businesses, economic freedom, and the free-enterprise system that drives American prosperity. Throughout his distinguished public service career — as a physician, humanitarian, and governor — he has consistently advanced policies that empower entrepreneurs, reduce government barriers, and strengthen opportunities for Main Street.

JCN is proud to partner with Gov. Colyer to advance key small business priorities, such as our Spring 2020 call to reopen Main Street and preserve America’s small business opportunity economy.

Alfredo Ortiz, CEO of Job Creators Network, released the following statement:

“On behalf of the Kansas small business community, JCN is proud to support Gov. Colyer’s campaign for governor. As governor, he will continue fighting for small business owners who form the backbone of Kansas’ economy through pro-growth reforms that empower Main Street. Gov. Colyer leads with integrity, courage, and a deep understanding of the challenges facing job creators. JCN is honored to give Gov. Colyer our Bernie Marcus Freedom Fighters Award in recognition of his extraordinary dedication to advancing freedom, opportunity, and the small business community.”
