Senator Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) 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.

“We have seen time and time again the remarkable relationship that exists between small businesses and their communities,” said Sen. Limmer. “They are woven into the fabric of our cities and towns because their owners are often our neighbors, or share our faith, or might have kids on the same hockey team. It is this close, personal connection that makes them different than large corporations. Nearly half of Minnesota employees work at small businesses; as we have seen so many times, successful small businesses make for successful communities. I am proud of my record supporting Minnesota’s small business owners, and I value their contributions to our thriving economy.”

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.
