Litzow Recognized for Support of Small Businesses

Mercer Island State Senator Steve Litzow (R-41) was recognized by the National Federation of Independent Business with an award honoring his efforts to protect and encourage small businesses in the state.

Sen. Steve Litzow has been recognized as a Guardian of Small Business for his work on behalf of small businesses during the 2011-12 legislative sessions. The award is presented by the National Federation of Independent Business to lawmakers who have worked consistently to promote policies that protect and encourage small and independent businesses.

“I am honored to be recognized by the NFIB and proud to be a small-business supporter in Olympia,” said Litzow of Mercer Island. “As a small-business owner myself, I know it takes great effort and resolve to establish, develop and maintain a company. I am pleased to have advocated on behalf of the individuals in our district who possess the passion to turn their own entrepreneurial ideas into real, independent businesses that are the driving force behind our local and global economies.”

The NFIB’s Washington chapter is a coalition of over 8,000 small businesses that work to ensure the future success of free enterprise and small business.
