Staff Report

Republican State Senator John Albers 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 Roswell senator 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.

“Job creation and the economic vitality of small businesses are at the forefront of my thoughts throughout every legislative session,” said Sen. Albers. “I am honored this exceptional organization has recognized my commitment to growing small businesses in this great state and I look forward to supporting similar initiatives during the 2015 legislative session.”

“Sen. Albers clearly understands what small business means to Georgia’s economy,” said Kyle Jackson, state director, NFIB Georgia. “By supporting small business, Sen. Albers is supporting working families and the community. Our members appreciate his efforts 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. The full report may be viewed on the organization’s website.

NFIB was founded in 1943 as a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization to give small and independent-business owners a voice in shaping public policy issues. NFIB’s mission is to promote and protect the right of members to own, operate and grow their businesses.
