Rounds Receives National Retail Federation’s “Hero of Main Street” Award for Outstanding Support of South Dakota’s Retail Industry

WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) today made the following statement after receiving the Hero of Main Street Award from the National Retail Federation (NRF). The award was presented by South Dakota Retailers Association Executive Director Nathan Sanderson. This award is given to members of Congress who publicly support policies and initiatives that support a sustained and healthy retail industry.

“When our small businesses thrive, our economy soars,” said Rounds. “Consumers have been feeling good about supporting small businesses in South Dakota and across the country, due in part to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and other pro-economic growth policies we’ve passed in Congress. I thank the South Dakota Retailers Association for being a strong voice for the retail industry, and I look forward to working with them as we continue to promote policies that help our retailers succeed.”
