Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce — the combined state chamber of commerce and manufacturers’ association — presented Rep. Brent Jacobson with the organization’s Working for Wisconsin Award.
Jacobson was honored for his support of initiatives to better Wisconsin’s economic climate during the 2025-26 legislative session. The Working for Wisconsin Award recognizes state legislators who demonstrate a commitment to advancing policies that support economic growth, job creation and a competitive business climate in the state.
“Wisconsin’s economic success depends on leaders who are willing to champion policies that encourage investment, innovation, and job creation,” said WMC president and CEO Kurt R. Bauer. “The recipients of this year’s Working for Wisconsin Award have demonstrated a commitment to strengthening our state’s business climate and ensuring Wisconsin is competitive for employers, workers and entrepreneurs.”
The Working for Wisconsin Award is based on individual voting records, regardless of a legislator’s political affiliation. Legislators who earn the award each session support pro-growth policies and reforms aimed at improving the state’s business climate.
“Rep. Jacobson is committed to making Wisconsin competitive; we are fortunate for his leadership in growing our economy and improving the business climate,” said WMC Executive Vice President of Government Relations Scott Manley.
Working for Wisconsin Award winners must receive at least a 70% rating on the WMC Legislative Scorecard. Jacobson was presented with the Working for Wisconsin Award on Sept. 21 at WMC’s Member Economic Briefing event in Mosinee.
