(Washington, DC)–US Representative Sue Myrick (NC-09) has been named a “Guardian of Small Business” by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). 

“In the 111^th Congress, Rep. Myrick proved that she is a champion of small business,” said NFIB in a prepared statement.  “The Guardian of Small Business Award is a token of the deep appreciation that small business owners have for elected officials who promote and protect their right to own, operate and grow their businesses”.

“I am very appreciative to NFIB for their work in promoting the interest of small business owners,” said Rep. Myrick.  “Jobs are created by small businesses.  At a time when unemployment is at a record high, it is so important for us to pass legislation that will allow businesses to grow and put Americans back to work.  I thank NFIB for this award, and will continue to support small businesses while in Congress”.
