Representative Bill G. Schuette of Midland, Michigan, received recognition this week for his unwavering support of the state's small business sector. The Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) honored Schuette at its Leadership Council winter event for his exceptional legislative voting record, one of only six lawmakers in the state to achieve a perfect score.

In his acceptance speech, Schuette emphasized the importance of small businesses in local communities, highlighting their contributions to society and the economy. He expressed his commitment to advocating for Main Street businesses by reducing tax burdens, costs, and regulations that hinder their growth and success.

According to SBAM President and CEO Brian Calley, lawmakers like Schuette play a crucial role in shaping policies that impact small businesses. Calley stressed the significance of understanding how government regulations can either support or hinder small business operations, emphasizing the need for legislators to prioritize the interests of local job providers.

Representative Schuette represents the 95th House District, encompassing Midland County, as well as Beaverton, Billings, and Tobacco townships in Gladwin County. His proactive stance on supporting small businesses has garnered praise from the SBAM and positioned him as a key ally for Michigan's vital small business community.
