OLYMPIA —The state’s leading small-business association recently named its Guardians of Small Business winners. “Ask every member of the Washington State Legislature if he or she is a friend of small business, and you will get 147 yesses,” said Patrick Connor, Washington state director for NFIB, the nation’s leading small-business association. “Watch them when it comes time to prove it, and you’ll find 44 whose actions matched their words.” As it does after every session, NFIB Washington tallies the votes taken on issues vital to small-business survival. Following the 2019-2020 session, lawmakers were graded on votes taken on 11 issues, nine of which were voted on in both chambers. A brief description of the 11 issues and each legislator’s vote on them can be found in the NFIB Voting Record. The Leadership Council of NFIB Washington set a 90-percent, pro-small-business voting threshold for earning a Guardian award. On behalf of the Main Street, mom-and-pop enterprises who will lead the post-coronavirus national economic recovery, NFIB Washington thanks the following senators and representatives. SENATE 100%

HOUSE 100%
