'Guardian of Small Business'

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Murphy (PA-18) was recognized as a 'Guardian of Small Business' by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), America’s leading small business association, in recognition of his outstanding small business voting record during the 114th Congress. 

"I was honored and proud to receive the Guardian of Small Business Award today from NFIB," said Congressman Murphy. "Small businesses are the engine of America. With over 56 million people employed by small business nationwide and 2.4 million in Pennsylvania, protecting this industry needs to be a top priority for all lawmakers in Washington.” 

According to NFIB, in order to be named a 'Guardian of Small Business', lawmakers must vote with small business on key issues 70 percent or more of the time during the 114th Congress. 

More information about specific pro-small businesses bills recently supported by Murphy is below:

  • America's Small Business Tax Relief Act (H.R. 636) - Provides permanent Section 179 small business expensing levels at $500,000, which is predictable and adequate to the needs of small businesses.
  • Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015 (H.R. 1105) - Repeals the estate tax once and for all, which provides much needed tax relief for small businesses.
  • Save American Workers Act (H.R. 30) - Changes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (ACA) definition of a full-time work week from 30 to 40 hours.
