Washington,
DC (September 15, 2016) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the
nation’s leading advocate for small businesses, awarded Congressman Todd Young (IN-09) with its biennial Guardian of Small
Business Award for his outstanding support of America’s small business owners
in the 114th Congress.
“Todd Young has been a staunch defender of Indiana
small businesses during his service in the House,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan. “Small business owners look forward to seeing
him bring that same sensibility to the Senate. We need more Senators who will
work to tear down the barriers to success built up by the federal government.”
The Guardian of Small Business is NFIB’s most
prestigious award. It is reserved for lawmakers who vote consistently
with NFIB on the key issues identified by small business owners. NFIB tracks the votes of every member of
Congress. House members and Senators who
vote with NFIB members at least 70
percent of the time are eligible for the Guardian Award.
Rep. Young has won the Guardian award three times
in his career in the House. Overall, he
has a 100 percent lifetime voting record with NFIB. His 2016 Senate opponent, Evan Bayh, has a 31 percent
lifetime rating from the NFIB.
“NFIB is honored to present Todd Young with this
award, and we hope to see him serving in the Senate next year,” Duggan
said.
