Tipton Named Guardian of Small Business

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) presented Congressman Scott Tipton (R-CO) with the Guardian of Small Business Award recognizing his commitment to fighting for economic growth in Congress.

Tipton is a member of the House Small Business Committee and serves as chairman of the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy and Trade. According to the NFIB scorecard, Tipton voted in favor of key small business issues 100% of the time.

“I’m honored to receive the Guardian of Small Business Award,” Tipton said. “As a lifetime small business owner, I know firsthand the challenges facing entrepreneurs as they strive to make their businesses successful and create jobs. My experiences in small business have helped to guide my work to create a stronger economy by getting government out of the way, and encouraging investment, responsible access to capital and more competitive tax rates so that businesses can grow and create new jobs.”

“The record shows that Rep. Tipton is a true champion of small business, having stood strong on the key small-business votes in the 112th Congress,” said NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner. “This award reflects our members’ appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business.”
