Rep. Loudermilk with NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading advocate for small businesses, awarded Rep. Loudermilk (R-GA) its distinguished Guardian of Small Business Award.

“No single group has suffered more with the rampant growth and over-regulation of government than our nation's small business owners, " said Rep. Loudermilk. "I saw this firsthand as a small IT business owner for over two decades. This is why I have championed policies and legislation that rein in unaccountable bureaucrats who drain the lifeblood from our businesses. I appreciate NFIB recognizing my efforts to put the interests of Main Street ahead of government.”

NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan stated, “Based on his voting record, Rep. Loudermilk is one of the most reliable advocates for small business in Washington. 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.”
