CARSON CITY – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today announced that he was recognized with the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB)’s Guardian of Small Business Award, the organization’s most prestigious legislative award.

“The NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award is presented to Members of Congress who have proven themselves to be real champions of small business,” said NFIB President and CEO Brad Close. “This Congress, small businesses emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic but faced continued threats of high inflation, workforce shortages, and supply chain disruptions. These NFIB Guardians demonstrated strong support of small businesses on key issues. NFIB is unique in that we only represent small and independent businesses, and our members decide our policy positions. We are proud to recognize the elected officials from the 117th Congress who earned this distinction by taking pro-small business votes that supported an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program and opposed tax increases, new mandates, increased legal liability, and problematic employment law revisions that would have threatened Main Street’s economic recovery. NFIB commends Rep. Amodei for earning the Guardian of Small Business Award.”

“It is an honor to be recognized by the NFIB with the prestigious Guardian of Small Business Award. In Congress, I am committed to sound policy that will help Nevada small businesses grow and thrive,” said Congressman Mark Amodei.

Mark Amodei Earns an A+ Rating from The Firearm Industry Trade Association

By | Amodei for Nevada | No Comments

CARSON CITY – U.S. Representative Mark Amodei (NV-02) today announced an A+ rating from The Firearm Industry Trade Association (NSSF), which recently released its 2022 Report Card.

“Congressman Amodei is a true friend and ally of the firearm industry and Nevadans when it comes to protecting Second Amendment rights. His leadership on the issues of halting discrimination by ‘woke’ corporate banks against the firearm industry is critical to ensuring firearm businesses are able to access financial services based on credit worthiness. Likewise, his push to hold criminals accountable for burglary and robbery of firearm retailers is much needed at a time when the nation is suffering from rising crime rates. Congressman Amodei’s leadership on legislation for nonprofit organizations to compete for Department of Justice grants to distribute firearm locking devices demonstrates his commitment to safe and responsible firearm ownership, as does his support for legislation to allow lawful concealed carry permit holders to exercise their Second Amendment rights across state lines. Our industry is grateful to Representative Amodei for his commitment to protecting the Second Amendment rights of Nevadans and all Americans and prioritizing firearm safety above politics,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, NSSF, The Firearm Industry Trade Association.

“At a time of continued assault on the Second Amendment by this Administration and Democrats in Congress, I have continued to prioritize protecting the right to keep and bear arms for law-abiding Nevadans. The A+ grade from The Firearm Industry Trade Association is an honor, and I stand firm in my commitment to continuing to defend these rights against partisan political agendas,” said Congressman Mark Amodei.

The 2022 grade was based on seven roll call votes, cosponsorship of several bills NSSF supports, and non-cosponsorship of several bills that NSSF opposes, as well as leadership on industry-related issues, public statements, work on a committee, floor statements, letters led and signed supporting a key issue, etc., during the 117th Congress.
