(St. Paul) –Sen. Michelle Benson (R-Ham Lake) was recently awarded the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Guardian of Small Business Award for her work during the past session of the Minnesota Legislature.
The award is earned by legislators who demonstrate strong support for small business during each biennium of the legislature.
During the 2012 legislative session Senator Benson championed and voted consistently for business friendly legislation.
The National Federation of Independent Business has more than 12,000 members in Minnesota, making it the largest business group of its kind in the state. To win a Guardian of Small Business award, legislators had to demonstrate a pro-small-business voting record during the 87th session of the Minnesota Legislature. Lawmakers were scored based on 10 votes taken in the state House of Representatives and Senate.
