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. Jeremy
Faison. NFIB made the presentation this morning at Newport Hardware, an NFIB
member in Rep. Faison’s district.
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, “Jeremy Faison is a
strong supporter of NFIB on a variety of issues. Representative Faison not only
scored another 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.”
“Tennesseans are fortunate to have leaders like Jeremy
Faison representing them in our legislature,” Brown said. “On behalf of all
small businesses in Tennessee, NFIB wants to thank Representative Faison for
everything he’s done for our state’s entrepreneurs.”
Faison, who chairs the House Government Operations
Committee, is from Cosby.
