The award was given to Dr. Paul by Tom Underwood, NFIB Kentucky State Director.\n\n\u201cEvery day, small business owners do more with less to make big things happen,\u201d said Dr. Paul. \u201cThey\u2019re risk-takers and innovators who quietly sacrifice to realize their dreams. I\u2019m honored to receive this award, and I will proudly keep working to ensure Kentucky\u2019s small businesses can thrive free from unnecessary government burdens.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T21:04:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.paul.senate.gov/news-dr-rand-paul-named-guardian-small-business/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8388482965528965, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
