Job Creators Network Presents Rep. Fitzgerald with “Defender of Small Business” Award

Waukesha, WI (September 14, 2021) – Today, the Job Creators Network (JCN) presented Rep. Scott Fitzgerald with its “Defender of Small Business” award at the fourth stop in their national Bring Small Businesses Back (BSBB) Bus Tour. The bus tour is part of JCN’s seven-figure BSBB campaign and is a direct response to the anti-small business proposals and policies of the current administration. Covering at least seven states over four weeks, it consists of events with select Members of Congress and local small business leaders. Next week, the JCN bus will be in Tampa, Florida. To see photos of the bus and the full bus tour schedule, click here.  

Alfredo Ortiz, JCN President and CEO, released the following statement: 

“As a former small business owner and a member of the House Small Business Committee, Representative Fitzgerald works hard every day to empower Main Street businesses to grow and thrive. Wisconsin small businesses are benefiting from Representative Fitzgerald’s leadership, and so is the rest of America’s 90-million-strong small business community. Job Creators Network thanks Representative Fitzgerald for his forceful advocacy of pro-growth policies, and we are proud to award him our Defender of Small Business Award.”

JCN is hitting the road to accomplish a number of goals:

  • Highlight the needs of small businesses as they struggle to recover from the pandemic.
  • Expose the current war on small business as the Left pursues policies like higher taxes, higher minimum wages, and massive government spending that is already causing consumer prices and the costs associated with operating a small business to skyrocket.
  • Promote the business leaders, legislators, and other advocates that are defending small businesses.
