State Senator Mae Beavers (R-Mt. Juliet) has been awarded the “Friend of Business Award” by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce.  Each year the organization assesses legislators based on the record in voting for or sponsoring pro-business legislation.

The award was presented to Senator Beavers by Adam Lister, who is Director of Policy for the Chamber.

“This is a great honor,” said Senator Beavers. “I constantly look for ways to help strengthen and assist the business community in my district by supporting legislation that promotes job growth, fairness, and efficiency.  I appreciate the recognition by members of the Chamber and look forward to continuing to partner with them to help create opportunities for our citizens.”

Senator Beavers represents Cannon, Clay, DeKalb, Macon, Smith, and Wilson Counties in District 17 in the Tennessee Senate.
