NFIB and Growth Energy Applaud Grassley’s Leadership in Congress
Last week, Senator Chuck Grassley received two awards for his leadership in Congress advocating for Iowans and fighting for Iowa’s economy in every corner of the state. Grassley received the Guardian of Small Business award from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and the 2022 Fueling Growth award from Growth Energy.

NFIB Iowa State Director, Matt Everson said, “On behalf of Iowa’s small businesses, we are pleased to name Senator Grassley a Guardian of Small Business. Senator Grassley has been a staunch supporter of small businesses and has earned a 100% NFIB voting record for the 117th Congress, further proving his dedication to small business issues. He has been a reliable voice for Iowa’s small businesses in Washington and we are proud to present him with this award today.”
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, over 99 percent of Iowa businesses are considered small businesses and employ nearly 48 percent of Iowa’s workforce.
