U.S. Rep. Paul Broun Honored as Guardian of Small Business by NFIB

Press Release

The National Federation of Independent Business, the nation's leading small business association, named U.S. Rep. Paul Broun (GA-10) a Guardian of Small Business for his outstanding voting record on behalf of America's small-business owners in the 113th Congress.

NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner praised Rep. Broun for "standing up for small business." In presenting the group's coveted Guardian of Small Business Award, Danner said, "Small-business owners are very politically active -- paying close attention to how their lawmakers vote on key business issues and stand by those who stand for them."

"The record shows that Rep. Broun is a true champion of small business, supporting the votes that matter in the 113th Congress," said Danner. "This award reflects our members' appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business."

NFIB's "How Congress Voted," which serves as a report card for members of Congress, was also unveiled this week. The report presents key small-business votes and voting percentages for each lawmaker. Those voting favorably on key small-business issues at least 70 percent of the time during the 113th Congress are eligible for the Guardian award.

In all, NFIB will present Guardian awards to 232 Representatives who stood up for small business.
