DECATUR, IL… State Representative Dan Caulkins (R-Decatur) achieved a 100% voting record with the National Federation of Independent Business during the 103rd General Assembly. The NFIB serves as an advocate for small business owners and works with legislators to pass legislation that allows small businesses to survive.
The NFIB is one of many organizations that scores Illinois legislators at the end of each General Assembly by comparing the voting records of each Illinois state legislator to the organization’s position on select legislation. Out of the eligible Illinois state legislators, 30 representatives and five senators achieved a 100% voting record.
“I am proud to have achieved a perfect voting record with the NFIB,” said Rep. Caulkins. “As a business owner myself, I understand the importance of a pro-business climate and the frustration of trying to operate in a state that is overloaded with anti-business policies. Illinois Democrats have been promoting policy that hurts small businesses for too long, and groups like NFIB are going to be an integral part of bringing good policy back to Illinois.”
The NFIB scored each legislator by looking at their vote on eight different pieces of legislation. To view each piece of legislation, visit the NFIB’s website and read the report from the 103rd General Assembly.
