Senator Bruce Anderson (R-Buffalo) 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.

“Every citizen would do well to take advantage of the important information provided by groups like NFIB,” said Sen. Anderson. “Small businesses make up about 98% of companies in Minnesota, and employ almost half of our workforce. The more burdens we place on them, the more difficult it is for them to succeed – and as we all know, our economy depends on thriving businesses. The values our country holds dear — hard work, fair play, and doing the right thing – are the same values required to launch a successful business. As legislators, we should be working in tandem with these entrepreneurs, not against them. It’s the only way our state will flourish.”

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.
