How Did Lawmakers Treat Small Business?
NFIB's How Congress Voted looks at how your U.S. senators and representatives voted on small business issues during the 112th Congress.
Lawmakers who vote with small business 70% or more of the time earn NFIB’s Guardian of Small Business Award, demonstrating their commitment to protecting free enterprise. Just as important, this report highlights lawmakers who vote against small business issues a majority of the time.
This report should come as no surprise to lawmakers. NFIB asks lawmakers to support the consensus views of our members. We also remind them that their votes are being monitored and will be reported back to NFIB members.
