“I am honored to receive the Guardian of Small Business Award from NFIB for my efforts to promote and support Hoosier small businesses,” Sen. Young said. “As the son of a small business owner, I know how important they are to our state’s economy. I will always fight to support Indiana’s small businesses.”

NFIB’s Guardian of Small Business Award is awarded to lawmakers who vote consistently with small business on the key issues identified by small business owners. Those who voted with small business on key issues 70 percent or more of the time during the 118th Congress earned the NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award.

“The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to Senators with a demonstrated record of supporting America’s small and independent business owners,” NFIB President Brad Close said. “This Congress, small businesses faced tough economic headwinds, especially from inflation, labor shortages, and tax pressures at all levels of the government. We are proud to recognize Senators from the 118th Congress who stood up for Main Street by taking pro-small business votes that would reduce taxes, eliminate burdensome government mandates, lower health insurance costs, and fuel the Main Street economy.”
