(KWNO)- The National Federation of Independent Small Business (NFIB) presented Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller with the prestigious Guardian of Small Business award.
Miller said of winning the award,
“There are more than 500,000 small businesses across the state that are the backbone of our local economies, and as a member of the Minnesota Senate, helping these businesses grow and prosper is always a priority. I’m honored to receive the prestigious Guardian of Small Business award.”
The Guardian of Small Business Award is reserved for legislators who vote consistently with small businesses on the key issues identified by small business owners. In order to win the award, MN legislators must vote at least 80% of the time in favor of small businesses on those key issues. Senator Miller voted in favor of small businesses 100% of the time.
John Reynolds, NFIB Minnesota State Director said,
“As a small business owner himself, Senator Miller understands first-hand the challenges that Main Street is facing right now. Now more than ever, small business needs strong advocates in the Minnesota Legislature, and they have one in Jeremy Miller. Thanks to Miller’s leadership this year, small employers across the state were spared from painful tax hikes and expensive government mandates.”
Senator Miller is a fourth-generation owner of Miller Scrap Iron and Metal Co.
