Congresswoman Comstock named a “Hero of Main Street”

Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-VA) was recently named a ‘Hero of Main Street’ by the National Retail Federation.  The Heroes of Main Street Awards are given to those members of Congress who recognize and support the positive impact the retail industry has on Main Street America and the surrounding communities.  Comstock said the following about her receipt of the Heroes of Main Street Award:

“Small businesses, especially retail shops, are the backbone of a strong local economy.  Our region relies on these stores to serve the community and meet the needs of the consumer. A vibrant ‘Main Street’ means a healthy local economy which will continue to create jobs and support hard-working families in our District.” 

Matthew Shay, President and CEO of the National Retail Federation, said “NRF’s Heroes of Main Street have shown through their voting records that they care about retailers, big and small, and value the role these businesses play in communities around the country.”
