The National Federation of Independent Business, the nation’s leading small business association, today named U.S. Senator Richard Burr a Guardian of Small Business for his outstanding voting record on behalf of America’s small business owners in the 111th Congress.
NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner praised Senator Burr for “standing up for small business.”
In presenting the group’s coveted Guardian of Small Business award, Danner said:
“Small business owners pay close attention to how their lawmakers vote on the issues affecting their businesses. The Guardian award is a symbol of sincere appreciation from the small business community for votes that supported their ability to own, operate and grow their businesses.
“Small business owners are also known to show their gratitude or disappointment at the ballot box. This November, NFIB members will know that Senator Burr’s voting record is one of a true small business champion.”
In all, NFIB will present Guardian awards to 43 senators who voted favorably on key small business issues at least 70 percent of the time during the 111th Congress.
