Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis has been recognized by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) as a Guardian of Small Business. This award is given to lawmakers who consistently vote in favor of small businesses on key issues identified by business owners. During the 118th Congress, 269 members were honored with this award.

“I thank the National Federation of Independent Business and NFIB President Brad Close for this award," said Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis. "As a Member of the House Committee on Ways and Means, my priority has been to support and champion our small businesses by cutting bureaucratic red tape, lowering taxes, and reducing regulations. We must continue working to create an economic environment where small businesses can invest, expand and thrive, as they are job creators and the backbone of our economy."

“The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to Members of Congress with a demonstrated record of supporting America’s small and independent business owners,” said NFIB President Brad Close. “This Congress, small businesses faced tough economic headwinds, especially from inflation, burdensome regulations, and threats of tax hikes at all levels of the government. We are proud to recognize the lawmakers from the 118th Congress, including Representative Nicole Malliotakis, who stood up for Main Street by taking pro-small business votes that would reduce taxes, eliminate burdensome government mandates, lower health insurance costs, and fuel the Main Street economy.”
