U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement after receiving awards from the NFIB, National Taxpayers Union’s, and Competitive Enterprise Institute for his work fighting for regulatory relief and lower taxes.

“The NFIB, National Taxpayers Union, and Competitive Enterprise Institute are terrific organizations that provide an important voice for economic freedom across Indiana and the rest of the country, and I am honored to receive these awards. These groups make it their mission to bolster our economy by relieving American businesses from costly regulations and American wage earners from painfully high taxes.

“If we are going to stimulate the job market and expand opportunities for workers and job creators, we must lower taxes and cut red tape so that individuals and businesses can invest and grow.

“I am so thankful for all the hard work and dedication each group has shown to strengthen our economy.  Going forward I will continue to work with the NFIB, National Taxpayers Union and Competitive Enterprise Institute in pursuit of this goal.”
