Senator Mark Finchem has earned a perfect 100% voting record from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), placing him among a select group of Arizona lawmakers recognized for their support of small businesses and free enterprise.
The NFIB voting record tracks key votes affecting taxes, regulations, administrative procedures, and the overall business climate. During the 2025-2026 legislative session, only fifteen legislators received a perfect score.
NFIB’s scorecard included votes on federal tax conformity, protections against burdensome local government fees, tax fairness, administrative due process, construction flexibility, and measures designed to prevent unnecessary costs from being imposed on Arizona employers. Senator Finchem voted with NFIB on every scored issue.
“A 100 percent NFIB voting record isn’t given—it’s earned, one tough vote at a time,” said NFIB Arizona State Director Chad Heinrich. “These legislators showed up when it mattered, standing firm on issues that impact Main Street.”
Finchem has long argued that small businesses—not government bureaucracies—are the true drivers of economic growth. His legislative record reflects a consistent commitment to lowering taxes, reducing regulations, increasing government accountability, and creating an environment where entrepreneurs can invest, hire, and expand.
The votes included in the NFIB scorecard supported giving businesses greater certainty in tax administration, preventing higher state tax burdens through federal tax conformity, increasing exemptions on business personal property taxes, requiring voter approval for local fee increases, and limiting the ability of state agencies to impose new costs without legislative oversight.
“Arizona’s small businesses create jobs, support families, and strengthen our communities,” Finchem said. “Government’s role should be to create opportunity, not obstacles.”
The perfect NFIB rating reinforces Finchem’s reputation as one of Arizona’s strongest advocates for free markets, economic liberty, and small-business growth.
