Rep. Calvert Named “Guardian of Small Business”
Earlier this week, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) was named a "Guardian of Small Business" by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation's leading small business association, for his voting record on behalf of America's small-business owners in the 113th Congress.
"The record shows that Rep. Calvert is a true champion of small business, supporting the votes that matter in the 113th Congress," said NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner. "This award reflects our members' appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business."
"Tens of millions of Americans are employed by small businesses, who are the backbone of our economy," said Rep. Calvert. "As a former small business owner myself, I know all too well about the challenges they face on a daily basis. I will continue to vote and advocate for policies that reduce the burdens the Obama administration continues to place our small businesses."
NFIB's "How Congress Voted," which serves as a report card for members of Congress, was also unveiled this week. The report presents key small-business votes and voting percentages for each lawmaker.
According to NFIB, Rep. Calvert voted favorably on key small-business issues 100 percent of the time during the 113th Congress.
