Senator Justin Eichorn (R-Grand Rapids) 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.

“There are over 500,000 small businesses in Minnesota that each makes their own vital contribution to the strength of our state’s economy,” said Senator Justin Eichorn. “As an owner of a small business in Grand Rapids, I work collaboratively with small business owners throughout our district and know first-hand challenges that they and their workers face. I am proud to receive this distinction from the NFIB, and I look forward to continuing to work to improve the business environment in Minnesota so that our communities can better thrive and residents can have greater opportunity.”

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.
