DES MOINES, Iowa (Sept. 15, 2022) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, awarded U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley the Guardian of Small Business Award, NFIB’s most prestigious legislative recognition. “On behalf of Iowa’s small businesses, we are pleased to name Senator Grassley a Guardian of Small Business,” said Matt Everson, NFIB Iowa State Director. “Senator Grassley has been a staunch supporter of small businesses and has earned a 100% NFIB voting record for the 117^th Congress, further proving his dedication to small business issues.

Just this year, I successfully led an effort that will help small businesses stay afloat during tough times.
