Bucshon for \u201cstanding up for small business.\u201d In presenting the group\u2019s coveted Guardian of Small Business Award, Danner said, \u201cSmall-business owners are very politically active \u2013 paying close attention to how their lawmakers vote on key business issues and stand by those who stand for them.\u201d\n\u201cThe record shows that Rep. Bucshon is a true champion of small business, supporting the votes that matter in the 113th Congress,\u201d said Danner. \u201cThis award reflects our members\u2019 appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business.\u201d\nNFIB\u2019s \u201cHow Congress Voted,\u201d which serves as a report card for members of Congress, was also unveiled this week.
