Harper receives the ‘Guardian of Small Business award
U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper (R–Miss.) receives the “Guardian of Small Business” award from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) President and CEO Dan Danner in recognition of his support of small business in the 111th Congress. Guardian awards are given to U.S. Representatives who vote favorably on key small business issues at least 70 percent of the time. A conservative man of faith and integrity, Congressman Gregg Harper took the Oath of Office in January 2009 to serve the citizens of Mississippi’s Third Congressional District. Prior to being sworn-in, his peers elected him as the freshman on the Republican Steering Committee in the House of Representatives. Gregg was also honored to have been appointed by Republican Leader John Boehner as the only freshman to serve on the Committee on House Administration and the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. Congressman Harper also sits on the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on the Budget, and the Joint Committee for the Library of Congress. Gregg currently resides in Pearl with his wife of 30 years, Sidney, and their two children, Livingston and Maggie, where the Harpers are active members of Crossgates Baptist Church.
