The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce welcomed US Senator Todd Young to Bloomington for a special presentation on Friday, October 22, at the Woolery Mill. This event included remarks from the Senator, and a moderated question and answer session with Dan Peterson, Vice President Industry and Government Affairs with Cook Group Incorporated. The Chamber’s Federal Focus event was created to allow dialogue and information sharing between the local business community and elected officials at the federal level. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from the Senator on topics that impact the nation’s business climate, upcoming and recent legislative priorities, and updates from Congress.
