Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement after yesterday receiving the Guardian of Small Business Award and a 100 percent score for his voting record in the 113th Congress from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation's leading small business association:
"While many Arkansans and Americans across the nation are still looking for employment, job creators are held back by excessive and overly burdensome regulations from the Obama Administration and our nation's complicated tax code. The House has passed solutions to strengthen our economy and help small businesses expand and hire American workers. I am appreciative of NFIB for recognizing my effort to help small businesses grow jobs, and I'm honored to have a 100 percent career voting record from NFIB."
Dan Danner, NFIB President and CEO, praised Griffin for his support for small business:
"The record shows that Rep. Griffin is a true champion of small business, supporting the votes that matter in the 113th Congress. This award reflects our members' appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business."
In 2012, Congressman Griffin received the Guardian of Small Business Award and a 100 percent score for his voting record in the 112th Congress from NFIB.
