Guardians of Small Business awards are given to senators and representatives who voted favorably on key small business issues at least 75 percent of the time during the current session. The voting record includes only key votes on small-business issues, not all of the votes cast during the session. The votes tracked this session are among the highest priorities in NFIB's small business agenda. They include votes you cast for pro-small business legislation to:
- Make health insurance more affordable for small business;
- Reduce costly junk lawsuits;
- Protect the rights of private property owners; and
- Reduce the tax burden on small businesses and manufacturers.
Is your lawmaker a Guardian of Small Business? Below, please find a listing of all Pennsylvania state lawmakers who have earned Guardian of Small Business award.
