Luetkemeyer Honored by National Federation of Independent Business with Small Business Award

Washington, September 17, 2014 -

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) was honored by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) with the group’s ‘Guardian of Small Business’ award for his commitment to create jobs for hard-working Missourians by expanding opportunities for America’s small businesses.

“I am honored the NFIB has recognized my efforts in creating jobs and ensuring our nation’s small businesses are not stymied by burdensome regulations,” Luetkemeyer said. “As a former small businessman and as Vice Chair of the House Small Business Committee, I know firsthand that small businesses are the glue that keeps our economy together and I will continue to help give these folks all the help I can so they can succeed and grow.”

The NFIB is the leading small business association representing small and independent businesses. A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 1943, NFIB represents the consensus views of its members in Washington and all 50 state capitals.

“In the 113^th Congress, Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer proved that he is a champion of small business,” NFIB State Director Brad Jones said. “The Guardian of Small Business Award is a legislative award given to U.S. Representatives and Senators who vote to promote and protect the right of small business owners to own, operate and grow their businesses.”
