In the annual How They Vote report, the North Carolina Chamber honored SENATOR DEVIERE for his voting record, which aligned with the Chamber’s Jobs Agenda at least 80 percent of the 2021 legislative session.
“In an era of widespread economic uncertainty, North Carolina’s job creators need to know which of our leaders are willing to act to give them more of the certainty they need,” said NC Chamber President and CEO Gary Salamido. “The bold leadership displayed by Senator deViere and other NC Chamber Jobs Champions in 2021 will help our businesses push past lingering uncertainty to fuel opportunity and recovery for millions of North Carolinians. We look forward to continuing to work with Senator deViere in the year ahead to foster renewed growth and success across our communities.”
“I’m proud of my voting record and advocacy for business-friendly legislation and it is great to be recognized by the NC Chamber for my work,” said Senator Kirk deViere, “We are making great strides towards expanding and supporting businesses in our communities. I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle during the short session to build upon this momentum.”
DeViere is the owner and president of Fayetteville-based 219 Group, an award-winning company that specializes in marketing, advertising and public relations.
