The tour represents the latest phase of the Chamber’s 'New Fight for Free Enterprise' initiative. Chamber President and CEO Suzanne P. Clark is scheduled to headline the 10:30 AM launch event on September 18, 2026, before the bus embarks on its journey through key states. Organizers intend to use the trip to draw a national spotlight on employers, workers, and community leaders who align with the organization’s economic agenda.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Launches Six-Week National Opportunity Tour
A custom-branded bus will pull away from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Washington this Friday, marking the start of a six-week trek across the country. The initiative, dubbed the Free Enterprise Express, aims to promote pro-growth policies and highlight local businesses ahead of upcoming political contests.
Beyond promoting business growth, the tour serves a clear political purpose. The Chamber plans to make specific stops to support candidates who advocate for free-market principles and deregulation. By visiting local chambers and regional hubs, the leadership team hopes to frame the national economic debate around the idea that private-sector growth remains the primary driver of rising living standards. Media access for the Washington kickoff begins at 9:30 AM at the organization’s Connecticut Avenue entrance.
