Sen. Steve Knight, R-Palmdale, on SCVTV’s “Newsmaker of the Week” show, Nov. 27, 2012.

State Sen. Steve Knight, R-Antelope Valley, received a score of 100% from the National Federation of Independent Businesses.  The score emphasizes Knight’s consistent voting record on job related issues for the 2011-2012 Legislative session. NFIB’s mission is to promote and protect the right of its members to own, operate and grow their businesses; a mission that Senator Knight wholly supports.

“Independent businesses are a key factor to the health and growth of our state economy, and getting Californians back to work.” Senator Knight added, “As a State Senator, I will continue to fight for small business development in California, because it is essential that we provide a marketplace that encourages job creation.”

Knight has made job creation for California residents a priority. The scorecard allows business organizations and owners to see which elected officials are helping California businesses, and which officials are continuing to hinder their ability to expand and create more jobs.

Knight represents the 21st Senate District in the California Legislature, which includes the Antelope and Victor valleys and half of the Santa Clarita Valley.
