Tim Walberg Honored as Guardian of Small Business by NFIB

Press Release

Rep. Walberg was named a "Guardian of Small Business" by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for his voting record on behalf of America's small-business owners in the 113th Congress.

NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner praised Rep. Walberg for "standing up for small business." In presenting the group's coveted Guardian of Small Business Award, Danner said, "Small-business owners are very politically active -- paying close attention to how their lawmakers vote on key business issues and stand by those who stand for them."

"The record shows that Rep.Walberg is a true champion of small business, supporting the votes that matter in the 113th Congress," said Danner. "This award reflects our members' appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business.

Rep. Walberg released the following statement after receiving the award:

"With small businesses creating and employing more than 50 percent of the workforce, I am honored to be recognized with an award that champions their success. I will continue to support efforts which create jobs and give small businesses the tools they need to grow and expand."

NFIB's "How Congress Voted," which serves as a report card for members of Congress, was also unveiled this week. The report presents key small-business votes and voting percentages for each lawmaker. Those voting favorably on key small-business issues at least 70 percent of the time during the 113th Congress are eligible for the Guardian award.
