Staff Report

Sen. Brandon Beach of Alpharetta was recognized by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) for his pro-business voting record during the 2013-14 legislative sessions.

NFIB awarded the Alpharetta Republican with a 100 percent rating due to his strong support of small business issues. NFIB is Georgia’s leading small-business association with over 7,500 dues-paying members representing a cross section of the state’s economy.

“Small business is the driving backbone of our economic sector,” said Sen. Beach. “I am thankful for this recognition from NFIB and look forward to continuing to advocating for legislation that maintains Georgia’s status as a right to work state and strengthens our small business industry.”

“Sen. Beach clearly understands what small business means to Georgia’s economy,” said Kyle Jackson, State Director, NFIB Georgia. “By supporting small business, Sen. Beach is supporting working families and the community. Our members appreciate the efforts of Sen. Beach to help grow our state’s economy and create jobs.”

NFIB/Georgia’s 2013-14 Voting Record included 12 key issues, including workers’ comp reform, tax relief, employment law, preserving Georgia’s status as a right-to-work state and support of a federal balanced-budget amendment.
