Last year, he helped make beer, this year at an April 16 event, he stamped out boxes at Centennial Container in Denver, an NFIB-member business.
“For his entire time in the State Legislature and in the U.S. Senate, Cory Gardner has always maintained a pro-small-business voting record, but his participation in NFIB’s Small Business Challenge two years in a row shows how much he sincerely cares about Main Street enterprises,” said Tony Gagliardi, NFIB’s Colorado state director.
NFIB’s Small Business Challenge is a national campaign that invites lawmakers to spend a day on the job at a small business in their community and allows them to experience firsthand the challenges small-business owners face, including day-to-day management, compliance, and tax issues.
Last year, Senator Gardner spent time at another NFIB-member business, Left Hand Brewery in Longmont. These events present a unique opportunity for NFIB members to have a voice in shaping the public policy issues that affect their businesses. NFIB members want to know that their elected representatives truly understand the needs of small-business owners and will fight for policies that will have a positive impact on their work and quality of life.
