“As a small business owner, I am forced to deal with a labyrinth of ever-changing federal, state and local rules,” said Steve Kravitz, President of American Nutriceuticals, a small business based in Vancouver. “I cannot tell you how relieved I was that I found someone in Washington, DC like Jaime who has common sense, and the ability to act on small business issues and get them resolved.”
The “Guardian of Small Business” awards are given to Members of Congress who supported small businesses on at least 70 percent of 13 key votes identified by NFIB. Jaime earned a perfect 100% for her pro-growth, pro-job votes.
“It’s my honor to be named a guardian of small businesses, because they have been the engine for economic growth and job creation in Southwest Washington,” said Jaime. “The NFIB has been instrumental in giving a voice to our region’s small businesses and helping me understand their priorities.”
“In the 112th Congress, Rep. Herrera Beutler proved that she is willing to stand up and do big things for small business,” said NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner. “Guardian-award winners are genuine small-business champions, consistently voting to promote and protect the right of small-business owners to own, operate and grow their businesses.”
