The Tennessee office of the National Federation of Independent Business, the state’s leading small-business association, has presented its coveted Guardian of Small Business Award to state Rep. Martin Daniel. NFIB made the presentation this morning at Beaman Imports Parts & Service, an NFIB member in West Knoxville.

The Guardian of Small Business award is the most prestigious honor that NFIB bestows on legislators in recognition of their efforts to support small business issues. The NFIB Tennessee Leadership Council, an advisory board comprised of NFIB members, voted to present the award to the legislator for supporting small-business issues in the 109th Tennessee General Assembly (2015-2016). 

Jim Brown, state director of NFIB, said, “Martin Daniel is an exceptionally strong supporter of NFIB on a variety of issues. Representative Daniel not only scored a perfect 100 percent voting record with NFIB, but he continues to lead the charge for less regulation and red tape on small business and to vote for legislation that promotes a stable business environment for free enterprise.”

Brown praised Daniel for his sponsorship of the Right to Earn a Living Act (HB 2201), which requires state government to review entry regulations for licensed professions and occupations and will help cut through some of the red tape that makes it harder for people to own and operate their own businesses.

“Tennesseans are fortunate to have leaders like Martin Daniel representing them in our legislature,” Brown said. “On behalf of all small businesses in Tennessee, NFIB wants to thank Representative Daniel for everything he’s done for our state’s entrepreneurs.”

Daniel, who serves on the House Business & Utilities and Civil Justice committees, is an NFIB member from Knoxville.
