Smucker Receives NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award

Press Release

Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-11) was named a recipient of the Guardian of Small Business Award issued by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, for his support of policies benefitting small businesses.

"Prior to serving in Congress, I built a small business over 25-years to employ over 150 individuals. I learned first-hand how the heavy hand of federal regulations and taxes impact job creators across the country. I will continue to advance pro-growth tax policies and will work to provide regulatory relief to small businesses so they can expand and create jobs," said Smucker.

"The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to Members of Congress who have proven themselves to be real champions of small business," said NFIB President and CEO Brad Close. "This Congress, small businesses emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic but faced continual threats of high inflation, workforce shortages, and supply chain disruptions. These NFIB Guardians demonstrated strong support of small businesses on key issues. NFIB is unique in that we only represent small and independent businesses, and our members decide our policy positions. We are proud to recognize the elected officials from the 117th Congress who earned this distinction by taking pro-small business votes that supported an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program and opposed tax increases, new mandates, increased legal liability, and problematic employment law revisions that would have threatened Main Street's economic recovery. NFIB commends Rep. Smucker for earning the Guardian of Small Business Award."
