Christian Employers Alliance

North Carolina: A National Leader in Biblical Stewardship 🏔️🏙️ The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) has officially released the North Carolina Edition of its Biblical Business Index (BBI), and the results place the Tar Heel State at the forefront of the national landscape. North Carolina now outpaces every other state evaluated to date—trailing only Tennessee—demonstrating a legislative culture that consistently prioritizes scriptural values and economic freedom. Key Highlights from the NC BBI: 97 Award Recipients: Nearly 60% of the North Carolina General Assembly (97 of 170 members) earned the Defender of Biblical Business Award for voting in alignment with biblical principles at least 80% of the time. Open for Business: The data confirms that NC is an outstanding destination for faith-based employers to locate and invest, thanks to a focus on religious freedom and opposition to politicized mandates. Legislative Leadership: CEA applauded Speaker Destin Hall and President Phil Berger for fostering a climate that strengthens the business community through transparency and biblical stewardship. As "Watchmen" for our Christian CEO members, we are providing this data to move beyond campaign promises toward a true Record of Conviction for policymakers. 🔗 See the full rankings and policy analysis at: zurl.co/d3QEo #NorthCarolina #BiblicalBusiness #BBI #MarketplaceStewardship #CEA #EconomicFreedom #Accountability

Indiana Lawmakers: DIVIDED on Conviction 📉🌽 The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) has released the Indiana Biblical Business Index (BBI), and the results highlight a major philosophical divide in the statehouse. While many campaign on shared values, the data from nearly 7,500 individual votes reveals a complex landscape for the sacred marketplace. zurl.co/jnj7G The Indiana BBI Breakdown: 42% Award Rate: Only 63 of the 150 members earned the Defender of Biblical Business Award for voting in alignment with scriptural principles at least 80% of the time—a sharp contrast to Tennessee's 75% success rate. Regulation & Freedom: The index uncovered deep splits over expanding economic freedom, specifically regarding red tape in the energy sector and housing development. Healthcare Integrity: Significant divides were recorded on healthcare transparency and measures to strengthen the integrity of the Medicaid and welfare systems. Transparent government matters because accountability matters, and voters deserve clarity about whether lawmakers’ actions match their promises. 🔗 See how your Representative scored at: zurl.co/UyPWa #IndianaPolicy #BiblicalBusiness #BBI #Accountability #MarketplaceStewardship #CEA #EconomicFreedom #HealthcareReform

Arizona Lawmakers: Stewardship or Spending? 📉🌵 The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) has officially released the Arizona Biblical Business Index (BBI), and the findings reveal a critical need for fiscal restoration in the Grand Canyon State. zurl.co/t0R3B While Arizona legislators showed strong leadership in protecting Parental Rights and removing politicized ideology from schools, the data from nearly 6,000 individual votes uncovered a troubling pattern of wasteful spending and the expansion of the welfare state. zurl.co/t0R3B The Arizona BBI Breakdown: 37% Award Rate: Only 33 of the 90 state lawmakers earned the Defender of Biblical Business Award for consistent alignment with scriptural principles. The "Borrower" Warning: Despite identifying as fiscal conservatives, many lawmakers supported "pet projects" and Medicaid expansions that risk trapping more citizens in government dependency. Accountability Over Rhetoric: The BBI provides the "Scripture-grounded standard" needed to move beyond campaign promises and into a true Record of Conviction. Scripture warns that "the borrower is slave to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7). The need for restraint and responsible stewardship is urgent at every level of government. As the "Watchmen" for faith-based CEOs and their businesses, we are calling for a return to Economic and Operational Freedom in Arizona. Transparency is the foundation of stewardship. 🔗 See how your Representative scored at: zurl.co/AfViR #ArizonaPolicy #BiblicalBusiness #BBI #MarketplaceStewardship #CEA #FiscalResponsibility #Accountability

Wyoming State Study: Deception vs. Conviction 📉🔍 The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) has officially released the Wyoming Biblical Business Index (BBI), revealing a significant gap between campaign promises and legislative actions in the statehouse. zurl.co/wYN7E Our analysis of over 5,000 individual votes uncovered that many self-described "constitutionally minded" and "liberty-loving" lawmakers actually voted to defeat legislation protecting the Second Amendment and children from abortion—while instead supporting DEI and politicized LGBTQ+ agendas. Key Findings: Ideological Gap: Lawmakers who ran on reducing the size of government were found supporting out-of-control spending and new regulations that benefit politically connected industries at the expense of Wyoming families. Mixed Results: Approximately half (55 of 93) of the Wyoming Legislature earned the Defender of Biblical Business Award by voting with biblical principles at least 80% of the time. State Comparison: This performance falls well below states like Tennessee, where over 75% of lawmakers met the award threshold. "Scripture commands us to 'put off falsehood and speak truthfully' (Ephesians 4:25). Democracy cannot endure when voters are misled about what their elected officials actually do in office." — Margaret Iuculano, CEA President. It is time to hold our elected officials to a clear, Scripture-grounded standard. Transparency is the first step toward restoration. 🔗 See the full rankings and policy analysis at: zurl.co/8x0cR. #WyomingPolicy #BiblicalBusiness #BBI #Accountability #MarketplaceStewardship #CEA #TruthInGovernance

Thank you for all of your hard work!

Texas Lawmakers Miss the Mark on Biblical Principles 📉🛡️ The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA) has officially released the Texas Biblical Business Index (BBI), and the results are a wake-up call for the "sacred marketplace". While Texas is often viewed as a bastion of faith and limited government, the data reveals a troubling trend of economic cronyism and fiscal irresponsibility. The Texas BBI Breakdown: 37% Award Rate: Only 68 out of 181 Texas lawmakers earned the Defender of Biblical Business Award—a sharp contrast to Tennessee's 75% success rate. Special Interest Over Stewardship: The analysis of over 20,000 individual votes uncovered consistent issues with taxpayer-funded subsidies and "backroom carveouts" for favored industries. Dependency vs. Freedom: The index flagged votes that expanded government dependency and restricted healthcare freedom for individual employers. "Faith-based employers need more transparency, more integrity, and more consistent leadership rooted in biblical principles - not policies that grow dependency." — Margaret Iuculano, CEA President As the "Watchtower" for Christian CEOs, we are moving from partisan promises to Scripture-grounded accountability. Transparency is the first step toward restoration. 🔗 See how your Representative scored at: zurl.co/uaFOt #Texas

Is AI Quietly Punishing Your Faith-Based Business? 🤖🛡️ Artificial intelligence is more than just a productivity tool, it's a new frontier for Operational Freedom. In a powerful new op-ed for The Daily Caller, CEA President Margaret Iuculano exposes how algorithmic bias can quietly sideline faith-based businesses and "shadow-ban" biblical values from the digital marketplace. As Christian leaders, we must move from being passive observers to active stewards of the technology that increasingly governs our commerce and speech. Read it here: zurl.co/HaxKE

Stewardship Over Bureaucracy: The Future of Healthcare Freedom 🛡️ President Trump’s "Great Healthcare Plan" is a major step toward restoring the biblical principle of stewardship to the American family. By redirecting funds away from "Big Insurance" and directly to the people, we empower employers and individuals to make value-based decisions without government or corporate coercion. Why this plan matters for Christian Employers: Direct Empowerment: Redirects healthcare dollars from insurance conglomerates back to the American people. Maximum Transparency: Mandates honest pricing, allowing for ethical marketplace decisions. Sanctity of Conscience: Bypassing intermediaries ensures employers aren't quietly forced to fund services that violate their convictions.

ICYMI: I’m incredibly honored to have ranked at the very top among Democrats in both the House and Senate for voting in line with biblical principles. The Biblical Business Index reviewed votes across a wide range of policy areas and measured how closely they aligned with core biblical values, including justice, human dignity, and moral responsibility. Faith has always played an important role in my life, and it continues to guide how I approach public service – and it always will.
