Rep. Miller Lauded For His Support of Small Business

The National Federation of Independent Business has awarded Congressman Gary Miller the Guardian of Small Business Award for what the group said is his strong record of support for small businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit.

The award recognizes Congressman Miller’s 40 years of experience as a business owner and his strong and consistent record of support for legislation that promotes small business growth and job creation, according to a news release written by federation officials.

“I am very honored to receive this award from the NFIB. Seventy percent of American jobs are created by small businesses and I want to thank NFIB for its efforts creating new jobs and promoting small business development. It is my biggest priority in Washington,” said Miller after he was awarded the honor.

Miller (R-Diamond Bar) currently serves the 42nd Congressional District that includes Diamond Bar, and he is running for re-election in the redrawn 31st District that includes Loma Linda and Redlands.

The foundation promotes support for small business tax relief at the federal and state level.

“Congressman Miller’s election is not only critical to the small business owners of the 31st Congressional District, but also protecting free enterprise across America,” said NFIB PAC Vice-President Lisa Goeas. “On behalf of all NFIB members, we look forward to standing with him to best represent the nation’s job creators.”

In addition to reforming the complexity of the nation’s tax code and reductions in overall tax rates for small businesses, the foundation supports government regulatory reform among its top issues.

The National Federation of Independent Business is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 1943 and has member in all 50 states. Their mission is to promote and protect the rights to own, operate and grow independent and small businesses.
