Rep. Gosar Receives "Hero of Main Street" Award

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after being recognized by the National Retail Federation as a "Hero of Main Street."

"As a 25-year small business owner, I am honored to receive the National Retail Federation's 'Hero of Main Street' award. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy: they led us out of the recent recession and will lead us back into prosperity. Most importantly, they will put the millions of Americans who are still unemployed back to work. I encourage all Americans to support their local small businesses so that the American dream of owning your own business will continue to flourish."

BACKGROUND:
According to the National Retail Federation, "This year’s recipients were recognized for their consistent support of the retail industry’s top public policy priorities. Award eligibility was based on key votes, bill sponsorship and advocacy on a wide array of retail priorities including but not limited to patent reform, sales tax fairness, the federal minimum wage and reforming the Affordable Care Act."
