McConnell honored as a "Hero of Main Street" by National Retail Federation

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was recognized Monday as a 2024 "Hero of Main Street" by the National Retail Federation for his work to help advance public policy that encourages a vibrant and healthy retail sector. 

The "Hero of Main Street" award was created by NRF in 2013 to recognize a bipartisan group of lawmakers for their support of the retail industry's public policy priorities. Award eligibility is based on key votes, bill sponsorship and advocacy to advance the industry's priorities.
