Rep. Ted Yoho Named Guardian of Small Business

Washington, DC – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading advocate for small businesses, awarded Yoho with its biennial Guardian of Small Business Award for his outstanding support of America’s small business owners in the 114th Congress. 
 

“Many elected officials claim that they are champions of small business, but our Guardian Award shows our members and other small business owners who is really fighting for them,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan.  “Based on his voting record, Rep. Yoho is one of the most reliable advocates for small business in Washington.”
 

The Guardian of Small Business is NFIB’s most prestigious award.  It is reserved for lawmakers who vote consistently with NFIB on the key issues identified by small business owners.  NFIB tracks the votes of every member of Congress. House members and Senators who vote with NFIB members at least 70 percent of the time are eligible for the Guardian Award.   
 

“It is an honor to receive this award and be recognized as a champion of small business. Being a small business owner myself, I know all about the blood, sweat, and tears that go into creating a successful company. I will always fight for those who create jobs and vote in support of those who are working hard to make their dreams a reality,” Yoho said.   
 

Yoho received a 100 voting record during the 114th Congress.

“NFIB is honored to present Rep. Yoho with this award,” Duggan said.
