Senator Carrie Ruud (R-Breezy Point) has received a perfect 100% ranking from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for her 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.

“I am honored to receive this distinction from the National Federation of Independent Business,” said Senator Carrie Ruud. “I am proud of the many small and family-owned businesses we have across our district. Our small businesses need certainty and stability, and by advocating for their interests, we can further strengthen our state and local economies and improve the lives of all residents who call Minnesota home.”
