Today, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) honored U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) with the group’s ‘Guardian of Small Business’ award for his commitment to creating and protecting  jobs for hard-working Missourians.

“I am honored to be recognized by the NFIB for my efforts in ensuring our nation’s small businesses are not impeded by regulations all across the board,” Luetkemeyer said. “I will continue to make it a top priority to help our small business employers and employees because they are the true drivers of economic growth and are the lifeblood of our local communities.”  

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

Luetkemeyer has also received this award in the 111^th, 112, and 113^th Congresses.

Luetkemeyer is the vice chairman on the House Small Business Committee and also serves on the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Energy, and Trade and the Subcommittee on Health and Technology.
