Job Creators Network

The Job Creators Network (JCN) is a national nonprofit business advocacy organization founded by Home Depot co-founder and former CEO Bernie Marcus.[1]

Alfredo Ortiz, a former Pepsi and Kraft executive, was named president and CEO of JCN in January 2014.[2]

Activities

JCN operates an Employer to Employee (E2E) program and public outreach efforts, such as including blog posts and online videos.[3][4] The organization advocates for lower taxes and fewer government regulations.[5][6] For example, it is opposed to many mandates of the Affordable Care Act, increases in the minimum wage, and the regulatory activities of the National Labor Relations Board and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. However, JCN does not endorse candidates for office, political parties, or other partisan groups in the political system.

JCN launched a "Bring Small Businesses Back" (BSBB) campaign in 2016. In April 2016, JCN hosted a BSBB event in Orlando featuring Frank Luntz, Mike Gallagher, and a panel of small business owners.[7][8]
