Today more than ever, we need leaders in Washington who understand the importance of pro-growth policies and who aren’t afraid to fight against policies that stifle job growth and opportunity. On behalf of America’s 90-million-strong small business community, Job Creators Network is proud to award Representative Kelly with the Defender of Small Business Award.”

Rep. Mike Kelly released the following statement:  

“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and we in Congress should do everything we can to create an economic environment that allows them to thrive,” said Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA-16). “Together with the Job Creators Network, I’m proud to lead a pro-growth, pro-American agenda that strengthens small business owners and their employees. Additionally, I want to thank Team Hardinger for hosting us today!”
