Washington, DC —
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) today named Senator John Thune as a "Guardian of Small Business" for a strong voting record on behalf of America's small businesses. Senator Thune had a 100 percent NFIB voting record in the 109th Congress.

They generate goods, services and revenue that keep our economy growing, provide millions of Americans with quality jobs, and keep our nation highly competitive in the global community," Thune said. "I'm honored to accept this award and will continue to work hard in the Senate to strengthen small businesses and keep the entrepreneurial spirit in America alive and well."
