The Missouri Chamber PAC, the political action arm of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has endorsed three local candidates for their respective districts.

Shelley Keeney was endorsed for the 156th District, Billy Pat Wright was endorsed for the 159th District and Ellen Brandom was endorsed for the 160th District.

A news release issued Thursday announcing the endorsements said their backing ensures that a candidate is committing to a pro-jobs policy and will be an effective advocate for employer issues.
