WASHINGTON —
The National Federation of Independent Business, the nation’s leading small business association, named U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., a Guardian of Small Business for his voting record in the 112th Congress.
NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner praised Chambliss for “standing up for small business.” In presenting the group’s Guardian of Small Business Award, Danner said, “Small-business owners pay close attention to how their lawmakers vote on the issues affecting their businesses and employees and stand by those who stand for them.”
“The record shows that Sen. Chambliss is a true champion of small business, having stood strong on the key small-business votes in the 112th Congress,” said Danner. “This award reflects our members’ appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business.”
Chambliss, in his second term as a U.S. senator, resides in Moultrie.
