NFIB's Massachusetts State Voting Record tracks small business votes during the session

Find Out Which Massachusetts Lawmakers Stood with Small Business

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BOSTON, MA (August 29, 2024) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy association, released its 2023-24 legislative Voting Record today, tracking votes from every lawmaker on key areas of concern and importance for small business owners in the Commonwealth. The Voting Record is a tool that allows small businesses and their supporters to better understand which Beacon Hill lawmakers truly stand with Massachusetts’ small businesses and local economic opportunity. NFIB’s Massachusetts State Voting Record is also a significant factor in NFIB’s decision to endorse incumbent legislators. “Small business owners in Massachusetts need to know which state lawmakers are looking out for their future, their employees’ futures, and the economic future of communities across the Commonwealth,” said Christopher Carlozzi, NFIB Massachusetts State Director. “Massachusetts taxes too much, regulates too much, and mandates too much. While some elements of progress this past session are appreciated, small businesses need lawmakers from both parties to stay razor-focused on the many challenges and cost drivers that continue to make Massachusetts uncompetitive. We are asking every legislator to look at their voting record on key issues, speak with small businesses in their districts, and be their champion when the legislature returns.” NFIB’s 2023-24 Massachusetts State Voting Record scored two bills acted upon both in the Senate and House, seven additional pieces of legislation that only advanced in the Senate, and one bill that advanced solely in the House. The two bills that passed both chambers were signed into law by Governor Maura Healey. NFIB represents more than 5,000 small business owners in Massachusetts. The average NFIB member employs ten people and earns $500,000 in annual revenue. The NFIB Voting Record reflects small business priorities and positions on key legislative issues, as determined by the members under the One Member, One Vote policy.
