NFIB Presents Senator Steve Huffman Guardian of Small Business Award

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), Ohio’s leading small business advocacy organization, presented Senator Steve Huffman with the NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award. NFIB member and small business owner Steve Bruns presented the award to Sen. Huffman at his small business Bruns General Contracting in Tipp City. “Senator Steve Huffman is a proven leader for small businesses in the Ohio Legislature,” said Chris Ferruso, NFIB Ohio State Director. “He earned a perfect NFIB voting record, is the lead sponsor for legislation to eliminate Ohio’s income tax, and is the leading caucus voice against health insurance mandates. We are proud to name Senator Huffman a Guardian of Small Business and know he will continue to prioritize small businesses in Columbus.” “It was a pleasure to recognize Senator Huffman today as a strong supporter of our state’s small businesses,” said Steve Bruns, owner of Bruns General Contracting. “He has been a staunch advocate for creating a better economy by lowering taxes and reducing regulations and I know he will continue to do great work for Ohio’s Main Street.” “I am humbled to receive the Guardian of Small Business Award from the NFIB,” said Senator Steve Huffman. “To be in the same group as my friend and mentor Jim Buchy and Bob Netzley, who proudly served for 44 years representing Miami County in the General Assembly. The National Federation of Independent Business and small businesses are truly the backbone of the economy of Miami County, the Fifth Senate District, and Ohio. I am very glad I have been able to support the advancement of small businesses the past ten years in the Ohio Senate and Ohio House and will for years to come.”
