HARRISBURG – Sen. Scott E. Hutchinson (R-21) was recently chosen by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) as one of its 10 “Guardians of Small Business” for the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s 2023-24 legislative session.
NFIB Pennsylvania State Director Greg Moreland said: “The small business community has no better friend than Sen. Hutchinson. His perfect voting record reflects how he prioritizes Main Street over Wall Street, and his efforts are leading to a better business climate in the commonwealth. NFIB PA’s 13,000 small business owner members thank you for all you do and congratulate you on this exclusive achievement.”
“With only 10 awards given out in Pennsylvania, I am honored and humbled to receive the NFIB’s Guardian of Small Business Award,” said Hutchinson, reacting to the award. “I have consistently advocated for reduced taxes, eliminating unnecessary government involvement, and growing community businesses to better all of Pennsylvania.”
During the 2023-24 legislative session, Hutchinson voted for such things as freezing Pennsylvania’s automatic gasoline tax increase, removing the commonwealth from California’s Air Resources Board Emissions Standards and improving the state’s Board of Finance and Revenue appeal process, legislation the senator championed to become law.
