The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), South Carolina’s leading small business advocacy organization, today presented state Senator Shane Massey with NFIB’s most prestigious award, the Guardian of Small Business Award. The award is presented to legislators in recognition of their efforts to support small businesses.

“We are proud to recognize Senator Massey today for his support of South Carolina’s small business community,” said Ben Homeyer, NFIB South Carolina State Director. “Senator Massey understands that when small businesses are successful, South Carolina is successful and has prioritized legislation to strengthen Main Street. Most recently, Sen. Massey led the effort to achieve much-needed tort reform and has focused on eliminating burdensome regulations that have held back economic growth. We commend Senator Massey’s commitment to our members and small businesses across the state and look forward to continuing to work with him.”
