Tennessee U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, R-1^st, and Virginia U.S. Rep Morgan Griffith, R-9^th, have both received “Spirit of Enterprise” awards from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, their offices announced Thursday.

Roe and Griffith were both honored for their “pro-jobs, pro-growth” voting record in Congress.

The chamber graded each member of Congress based on how he or she voted on numerous issues it views as high priorities, including trade and health care reform.

Representatives who supported the organization’s position on at least 70 percent of those votes were eligible for the award.

Roe is currently in his second term in Congress, while Griffith is a first-term congressman. Both are up for re-election this year.
