ICYMI: VIRGINIA FOXX HONORED AS “GUARDIAN OF SMALL BUSINESS”

Congresswoman Foxx Receives the NFIB Guardian Award from the Federation’s President and CEO Dan Danner.

“Our government needs to be working to make it easier for small businesses to grow and create jobs if we are going to experience a real and robust economic recovery,” Congresswoman Foxx stated. “My husband and I started our own North Carolina small business many years ago and I vote with that perspective in mind. Entrepreneurs should not have to face senseless taxes and regulatory uncertainty on top of the slew of challenges they already confront each day.” 

“The record shows that Rep. Foxx 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.”
