COLUMBUS—State Senator Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City) received the prestigious Guardian of Small Business Award from the National Federation of Independent Businesses/Ohio (NFIB) today. The award is in recognition of his efforts to support small business issues in the state legislature.

“I am humbled to receive the Guardian of Small Business Award from the NFIB,” said Senator Huffman. “To be in the same group as my friend and mentor Jim Buchy and Bob Netzley, who proudly served for 44 years representing Miami County in the General Assembly. The National Federation of Independent Business and small businesses are truly the backbone of the economy of Miami County, the Fifth Senate District, and Ohio. I am very glad I have been able to support the advancement of small businesses the past ten years in the Ohio Senate and Ohio House and will for years to come.”

NFIB governing board members chose Senator Huffman to receive the Guardian of Small Business Award for his strong record supporting Ohio's small businesses. 

“Senator Steve Huffman is a proven leader for small businesses in the Ohio Legislature,” said Chris Ferruso, NFIB Ohio State Director. “He earned a perfect NFIB voting record, is the lead sponsor for legislation to eliminate Ohio’s income tax, and is the leading caucus voice against health insurance mandates. We are proud to name Senator Huffman a Guardian of Small Business and know he will continue to prioritize small businesses in Columbus.”

“It was a pleasure to recognize Senator Huffman today as a strong supporter of our state’s small businesses,” said Steve Bruns, owner of Bruns General Contracting. “He has been a staunch advocate for creating a better economy by lowering taxes and reducing regulations and I know he will continue to do great work for Ohio’s Main Street.”

Senator Huffman's legislative accomplishments supporting small businesses include:

  • Creating an education system that focuses on student outcomes
  • Preserving the Business Investor Deduction
  • A strong record of fiscal restraint
