WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Hood River) has been named a Guardian of Small Business by the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB). Walden received this award for his outstanding voting record in the U.S. House on behalf of Oregon small businesses. It's an honor to receive this special recognition from the nation's leading voice for small businesses. As a small business owner with my wife since 1986, I understand what it takes to risk everything to grow a business and create jobs. My small business experience has proven very valuable as I work to bring common sense to government at all levels and cut through unnecessary red tape that stifles job creation, Walden said NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner praised Walden for standing up for small business. The record shows that Rep. Walden is a true champion of small business, supporting the votes that matter in the 113th Congress, said Danner. This award reflects our members' appreciation for supporting the NFIB pro-growth agenda for small business. NFIB is made up of small businesses nationwide, including nearly 7,500 in Oregon. According to the Oregon Secretary of State, small businesses employ more than half of Oregon's workforce and make up 98% of the state's total businesses. The Guardian of Small Business award is given to representatives who vote favorably on key small business issues at least 70 percent of the time. Walden is the only member from Oregon to receive the award. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
