(September 7, 2010) Upon conclusion of the CalChamber Board of Directors meeting Friday, President and CEO Allan Zaremberg announced that gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman received the group’s endorsement. 

“The CalChamber Board of Directors voted to endorse Meg Whitman in the California gubernatorial race,” said Zaremberg. “For the business community as well as the electorate, job creation and economic recovery are the most important issues and it is clear Meg Whitman most closely reflects the views of those who make private sector job creation their first priority. Many of our board members expressed confidence in having a person with business experience run the state. CalChamber supports Meg Whitman’s priority of removing barriers to private sector job creation and creating certainty for those who wish to invest in our state.”
