As the son of a small business owner, I know how important they are to our state\u2019s economy. I will always fight to support Indiana\u2019s small businesses,\u201d said Senator Young.\n\n\u201cThe NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to Senators with a demonstrated record of supporting America\u2019s small and independent business owners,\u201d said NFIB President Brad Close. \u201cThis 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.\u201d\n\nNFIB\u2019s 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.\n\nMore information is available here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:55:29Z"]], "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.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/nfib-awards-senator-young-guardian-of-small-business-award-3/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5033388044685125, "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"}
