Congressman French Hill (AR-02) has been recognized as a “Hero of Main Street” by the National Retail Federation (NRF) for consistently supporting public policy priorities important to the retail industry and its millions of small businesses.

“Leading my own business for 16 years and in private business for over 30 years has helped me understand what kind of policies our job creators need to thrive,” said Hill. “I have proudly supported tax reform, legislation to right-size regulations, skilled workforce development, and more – all of which has helped spur on our small businesses on Main Street. I appreciate the NRF recognizing me for this award.”

“Retailers and consumers are feeling good about the state of the U.S. economy, and a big part of that is the result of lawmakers who have made economic growth and job creation a top priority,” said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay. “As a Hero of Main Street, Representative Hill truly understands that the decisions made in Washington have a real impact on local businesses and communities across the country.”
