As Chair of the Commerce, Economic Development and Agriculture Committee, Assemblyman Spearman works closely with business leaders to ensure their voices are heard in policymaking.
NJ Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas A. Bracken praised both legislators for their leadership.
“We are proud to honor Assemblyman Karabinchak for his ongoing commitment to supporting New Jersey’s business community and advancing policies that streamline the permitting and construction process for all future projects,” said Bracken. “Through his leadership on legislation, including the Design Professional Self-Certification Act, the Next New Jersey AI Investment Program, and tax incentives for affordable housing projects, Assemblyman Karabinchak has demonstrated his dedication to removing barriers and creating opportunity for businesses. His active engagement with the Chamber reflects his partnership with the business community and his focus on solutions that help our state thrive.”
“As Chair of the Commerce, Economic Development and Agriculture Committee, Assemblyman Spearman consistently engages with the Chamber to ensure the voices of businesses are heard and considered in policymaking,” said Bracken. “From sponsoring the New Jersey Works Act to advance pre-employment training programs, to supporting statewide initiatives like the Recycling Needs Assessment Advisory Council, the Assemblyman demonstrates a clear focus on economic growth and workforce development. His active participation with the Chamber and his open dialogue with business leaders reflect his dedication to creating a business-friendly environment where companies of all sizes can succeed.”
