The United States Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Representative Lee Zeldin's re-election campaign. The organization represents more than three million business interests.

"In difficult times, we are reminded of the importance of having leaders that understand the genius of the American system of government and free enterprise and who are willing to tackle the hard problems that confront our nation," Thomas J. Donohue, the chamber's chief executive officer, said in a statement issued by Mr. Zeldin's campaign. "As our nation faces many challenges and is collectively working to not just reopen our economy but return to growth and expanded opportunities for all Americans, we need leaders like Congressman Lee Zeldin. He has a proven track record of leading responsibly and standing up for good policies."
