Rep. William Brisson Recognized with Strong Pro-Business Rating in NC House

RALEIGH, N.C. – The North Carolina FreeEnterprise Foundation (NCFREE) released a special COVID-19 edition of the organization’s 2019-2020 Legislative Business Rating (LBR), an analysis of the voting records of North Carolina General Assembly members as they relate to advancing and protecting business opportunities within the state.

Representative William Brisson has earned one of the top ratings with a 91% pro-business voting record during the 2019/2020 session with an overall pro jobs voting record during his tenure in the North Carolina House of Representatives of 89% according the North Carolina Chamber Association.

On the ratings report, Rep. Brisson offered the following:

“The Republican Majority has worked hard to focus on building a strong economy

through less taxes and fewer regulation in the past several years.   My pledge to

my constituents is to always support job growth and small business.”

Anna Beavon Gravely, Executive Director of the North Carolina FreeEnterprise Foundation:

“There is no ignoring the disruption and destruction caused by COVID-19 not only to our business community, but also to our friends and family. As such, the NCFREE Research Committee decided it was necessary to show how legislators are voting in 2020 and then how those votes impacted their overall 2019-2020 Session score. The rating of some legislators improved from their 2019 LBR to their 2019-2020 Session LBR as a result of the pro-business votes they made this year, and we wanted to highlight those changes.”

NC FreeEnterprise Foundation (NCFREE) is the premiere research organization in the state providing non-partisan analysis of the political landscape and its impact on North Carolina’s business environment.

The ratings for the Senators featured 20 recorded votes, and the ratings for the Representatives featured 19 recorded votes. Additional information on the methodology behind the ratings is available at the NCFREE website, ncfree.org.
