Senator Mike Goggin (R-Red Wing) has received a perfect 100% ranking from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for his support of Minnesota’s small business owners and employees. NFIB announced the rankings as part of their 2017-2018 legislative scorecard, which tracks legislators votes on a list of bills affecting small businesses, including taxes, health insurance, legal issues, and more. The scorecard is available here: https://www.nfib.com/assets/MINNESOTA2018_Voting_record.pdf.

“Small businesses employ almost 50% of Minnesota’s workforce,” said Sen. Goggin. “The people who own and work at these businesses are our friends and neighbors. We go to church with them and play softball with them; we lend them our tools, and their kids babysit ours. These mom-and-pop shops have deep roots in our communities, and I am proud to support them.”

NFIB is the voice of small business, advocating on behalf of America’s small and independent business owners, both in Washington, D.C., and in all 50 state capitals. NFIB is nonprofit, nonpartisan, and member-driven. Since the group’s founding in 1943, NFIB has been exclusively dedicated to small and independent businesses, and remains so today.
