“Our Guardian award process is methodical, measurable, and has been going on for decades,” said Tony Gagliardi, Colorado state director for the National Federation of Independent Business, America’s leading association of small business owners. “The Guardian awards are our Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Almost every legislator claims to be a friend of small business, but our award separates the faithful from the frauds.”
Guardian award percentages were based on votes taken on 10 bills during the 2009-2010 session of the Colorado Legislature. To qualify as a Guardian, legislators must have achieved an 80% pro-small business voting record. Legislators below may represent all or parts of other counties than those listed.
