AUSTIN (Aug. 2, 2023) – NFIB, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, announced today that 66 Texas lawmakers, including 10 members of the Senate and 56 members of the House of Representatives, earned 100 percent NFIB voting records during the 88^th Legislative Session. In a statement, NFIB State Director Annie Spilman commended these 66 lawmakers for siding with small business owners on issues ranging from tax and regulatory relief to workforce development. “Texas legislative sessions are only 140 days, with thousands of issues before legislators, and numerous influences. Our members are grateful to these lawmakers for prioritizing small businesses and the challenges they face. From easing the property tax burden to providing regulatory consistency across our state, Texas job creators appreciate all these lawmakers have done to keep our small businesses open and thriving.” The NFIB Voting Record does not reflect every element considered by a legislator when voting or represent a complete profile of the lawmaker.
