Rep. Lampton Receives NFIB's Guardian of Small Business Award

State Representative Brian Lampton (R-Beavercreek) recently received the Guardian of Small Business Award from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). 

Rep. Lampton was recognized for his work in the legislature to support small businesses including as the co-chair of the Business First Caucus and his voting record that reflects his staunch support of the business community. 

"Looking out for small businesses in the state of Ohio is why I belong to NFIB, I feel it is my duty to do everything I can to protect and promote them,” said Rep. Lampton. “I am honored to be recognized by NFIB as a Guardian of Small Business and look forward to continuing this important work as state representative.”

According to the NFIB’s press release, the Guardian of Small Business Award is the most prestigious award that NFIB presents to legislators for their efforts to support Ohio’s small businesses. The organization presented the award at Rep. Lampton’s business, Lampton Engle & Associates, in Beavercreek. 

“Since taking office in 2021, Representative Lampton has been a staunch supporter of Ohio’s small business community,” said Cameron Garczyk, NFIB Ohio Assistant State Director. “Rep. Lampton has been a small business owner for 30+ years and is an NFIB member, making him uniquely qualified to co-chair the Business First Caucus in the General Assembly. He understands the top challenges small businesses face daily and has earned a 100% lifetime NFIB voting record by defending and protecting small businesses in the Legislature. Specifically, Rep. Lampton has been a leader for employer protections and tax reform and has advocated against harmful health insurance mandates that would stifle small businesses. On behalf of Ohio’s small businesses, we are proud to name Rep. Lampton a Guardian of Small Business today.”
