In August, NFIB Minnesota presented State Senator Jordan Rasmusson, of Fergus Falls, with the prestigious Guardian of Small Business Statue.

The Guardian Statue is an award reserved for lawmakers who consistently side with small businesses on key legislative issues and go the extra mile for Main Street. Sen. Rasmusson, an NFIB Member, earned the Guardian Statue for going above and beyond to protect small businesses from harmful mandates, regulations and tax hikes.

Sen. Jordan Rasmusson is a first-term member of the Minnesota Senate. He has quickly proven himself a strong ally of Main Street businesses. As the realities of one-party control became apparent in early 2023, Rasmusson rolled up his sleeves and got to work making the case for protecting small businesses.

“We are extraordinarily grateful to Sen. Jordan Rasmusson for standing up for Main Street,” said NFIB State Director John Reynolds. “Jordan is a talented lawmaker who understands firsthand the pressures that small businesses face in Minnesota.”

NFIB evaluates lawmakers based on their voting record, which reflects how each legislator voted on key small business issues as determined by NFIB small business owners. In 2023-24, more than 90 lawmakers scored 100 percent on the NFIB Minnesota Voting Record.

We are extremely grateful for all the Minnesota lawmakers who took tough votes and stood with our members. In the coming weeks, NFIB Minnesota members will hear more about the state lawmakers who earned the Guardian of Small Business Award.
