Phoenix, AZ – The Arizona Free Enterprise Club announced today the 2016 Free Market Champion Award recipients. The Free Market Champion Award is given to members of the Legislature that demonstrate leadership and a commitment to free market, pro-growth policies in Arizona.  This year’s award includes a picture and quote from world renowned economist and true defender of economic liberty, Ludwig Von Mises.  The quote on the award reads, ““Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore, everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle.”

The two recipients of the Free Market Champion Award are:

  • Senator Judy Burges (District 22)
  • Representative Eddie Farnsworth (District 12)

The Free Enterprise Club is proud to honor these two legislators for their hard work and consistent support of economic freedom and prosperity at our state capitol,” President Scot Mussi said.  “They truly made a difference for Arizona taxpayers and businesses.
