SUMMARY:April Business Before Hours
DESCRIPTION:The Chamber will welcome U.S. Senator George LeMieux to present "Using Economic Freedom to Boost Our Nation's Economy and Create Jobs" during Business Before Hours on Wed.\, April 18. Join us and network before enjoying a breakfast buffet during this special program. \n\n\n\nThroughout his career\, George LeMieux has demonstrated a consistent commitment to public service. He served as Florida's Deputy Attorney General\, Chief of Staff to Florida's Governor\, and most recently as United States Senator for the people of Florida.\n\n\n\nAs Deputy Attorney General\, LeMieux led an agency of more than 400 attorneys. He argued a death penalty case before the United States Supreme Court and won the case with a unanimous decision. LeMieux oversaw the office of governor for the administration's first year as Chief of Staff and helped oversee and manage Florida's state agencies.\n\n\n\nIn 2008\, George returned to the private sector to lead Gunster\, a prominent Florida law firm. In the summer of 2009\, George was called back into public service when U.S. Senator Mel Martinez retired before the end of his term.\n\n\n\nWhile serving as Florida's 34th United States Senator\, George was an active member of the Senate Armed Services Committee\, the Commerce Committee\, and the Special Committee on Aging. Senator LeMieux saw several of his legislative priorities signed into law including Medicare anti-fraud legislation and an export promotion act.\n\n\n\nWhile in Congress\, Senator LeMieux was given the "Tax Fighter" award by the National Tax Limitation Committee\, the "Taxpayer Hero" award by Citizens Against Government Waste\, the "Friend of the Family" award by the Christian Family Coalition\, and the "Guardian of Small Business" award by the National Federation of Independent Business.\n\n\n\nDuring his time in the Senate\, George made the debt and deficit his primary focus because of our nation's unsustainable fiscal path. George introduced a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution and a proposal called the 2007 Solution\, which would have reduced government spending to 2007 levels. Furthermore\, he opposed wasteful earmark spending\, which earned him a 93% rating from the National Taxpayers Union.\n\n\n\nAt the conclusion of his Senate term in 2011\, George returned to the Gunster law firm where he currently serves as Chairman of the Board. He lives in Broward County with his wife Meike and their four children Max\, Taylor\, Chase and baby girl Madeleine.
