DECATUR, IL… State Representative Regan Deering (R-Decatur) has earned a 100% voting record from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) in recognition of her support for Illinois’ small businesses during the 2026 legislative session.
NFIB’s annual voting record evaluates legislators on key small-business issues based on selected votes during the legislative session, assigning each lawmaker a score from 0% to 100%. The scorecard reflects the priorities of NFIB’s small-business members and recognizes legislators who consistently support policies that help small businesses grow, create jobs, and strengthen local economies.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, creating jobs, driving innovation, and supporting local families,” said Rep. Deering. “I am honored to receive a 100% voting record from NFIB, and I will continue fighting for policies that reduce burdens on job creators, encourage economic growth, and make Illinois a better place to start, grow, and operate a business.”
NFIB Illinois State Director Noah Finley praised Rep. Deering’s commitment to Illinois’ small-business community.
“Representative Deering is a tireless advocate for the small businesses in her district,” said Finley. “She understands the importance of Main Street businesses and how excessive regulations and taxes hamper small businesses’ ability to grow and create jobs in our communities.”
Rep. Deering continues to advocate for pro-business policies both in Springfield and throughout the 88th House District. Through her “Regan’s Route” initiative, she regularly visits small businesses to hear directly from owners about the challenges they face and what the General Assembly can do to help them succeed in Illinois.
