NFIB Awards Senator Young Guardian of Small Business Award

Brad Close, NFIB President, presents Senator Young with the Guardian of Small Business Award.

WASHINGTON – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has awarded U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) its most prestigious legislative recognition, the NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award.

“I am honored to receive the Guardian of Small Business Award from NFIB for my efforts to promote and support Hoosier small businesses,” said Senator Young. “As the son of a small business owner, I know how important they are to our state’s economy. I will always fight to support Indiana’s small businesses.”

NFIB President Brad Close added, “The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to Senators with a demonstrated record of supporting America’s small and independent business owners. This Congress, small businesses faced tough economic headwinds, especially from inflation, labor shortages, and tax pressures. We are proud to recognize Senators from the 118th Congress 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 award is presented to lawmakers who vote consistently with small businesses on key issues identified by small business owners. Those who supported small businesses on key issues 70% or more of the time during the 118th Congress earned the NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award.
