US Chamber rejects McCarthy’s call for new leadership
BY KARL EVERS-HILLSTROM - 11/03/22 11:33 AM ETThe U.S. Chamber of Commerce is sticking with CEO Suzanne Clark after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reportedly privately called on the business group to replace her.
Mark Ordan, chairman of the Chamber’s board, said in a statement that Clark has the organization’s “complete support.”
“The U.S. Chamber of Commerce team serves a vital role in the daily defense of American business. We serve our members, not a political party. Staying true to that mission requires a smart, savvy, vigorous leader like our CEO Suzanne Clark,” he said.
McCarthy has demanded that the Chamber replace its leadership, including Clark, if he becomes House speaker, Axios reported. Otherwise, McCarthy won’t work with the nation’s largest business lobbying group, the outlet reported.
