The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, the Commonwealth’s largest broad-based business advocacy organization, today announced that U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) will speak at the 40th PA Chamber Annual Dinner at the Hershey Lodge on Monday, October 7, 2024.
“Pennsylvania is the center of the political universe – no state in the nation matters more than the Keystone State in 2024,” PA Chamber President and CEO Luke Bernstein said. “Everyone from the presidential candidates to the national media is focused on Pennsylvania, which creates a great opportunity to showcase our strengths, businesses, and our people. The PA Chamber Annual Dinner is the perfect venue to do that, and we are thrilled to have Senator Rubio, a true champion of free enterprise and small business, join us to further elevate the biggest night of the year.”
Currently in his third term, Senator Rubio is one of the most effective and influential legislators in Washington, D.C. As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Senator Rubio worked hard to help keep millions of small businesses afloat during the pandemic lockdowns through the historic Paycheck Protection Program, expanded the child tax credit for working families, and fought back against job-killing over-regulation.
As Vice Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence and a senior member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator Rubio is leading efforts to strengthen America’s national security at home and abroad. Senator Rubio wrote and passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which represents one of the greatest turning points in U.S.-China relations in decades.
For these achievements and more, the Center for Effective Lawmaking consistently ranks Rubio among the three most effective senators in Congress and the most effective Republican, and the Lugar Center ranked him as one of the most bipartisan senators.
The marquee event of the year, the 40th PA Chamber Annual Dinner will also feature a fireside chat featuring the greatest tennis player of all time and international trailblazing icon Serena Williams.
Individual tickets, tables, and sponsorships are now available. For more information, visit www.ChamberDinner.com.
