Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, Congressman Scott Perry accepted the prestigious Guardian of Small Business Award from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), a leading small business advocacy organization.
“This Congress, small businesses faced tough economic headwinds, especially from inflation, burdensome regulations, and threats of tax hikes at all levels of the government,” said NFIB President Brad Close. “We are proud to recognize the lawmakers from the 118th Congress, including Congressman Scott Perry, who stood up for Main Street by taking pro-small business votes that would reduce taxes, eliminate burdensome government mandates, lower health insurance costs, and fuel the Main Street economy.”
The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to Members of Congress with a demonstrated record of supporting America’s small and independent business owners.
“I’m proud to earn the NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award. Small businesses are the foundation of the American economy,” said Congressman Scott Perry. “As a former small business owner myself, I will continue the fight to protect Main Street businesses by cutting taxes, spending responsibly, and slashing unnecessary and burdensome red tape that is killing our small businesses and wrecking the backbone of our Nation.”
NFIB’s Guardian of Small Business Award is reserved for lawmakers who vote consistently with small businesses on key issues identified by small business owners. As the voice of small business, NFIB is the only business organization whose policy positions are established by NFIB members directly.
