Date: May 26, 2015

The National Federation of Independent Business, Virginia’s leading small-business association, has endorsed seven legislative candidates in the June 9 primary:

Senate

Steve Martin (11th District)
John Cosgrove (14th District)
Emmett Hanger (24th District)

House

Chris Head (17th District)
Bill Howell (28th District)
Mark Berg (29th District)
Johnny Joannou (79th District)

The endorsement were made by NFIB/Virginia SAFE (Save America’s Free Enterprise) Trust, which is comprised exclusively of NFIB members. 

“These candidates clearly understand the challenges facing Virginia’s job creators,” said Nicole Riley, state director of NFIB/Virginia.  “Our members believe these candidates will continue to take a fiscally responsible approach to managing state government and support legislation that helps our small businesses grow and create jobs.”

The NFIB/Virginia SAFE Trust’s endorsement is critical to a candidate’s campaign. Small-business owners and their employees vote in high numbers and are known for actively recruiting friends, family members and acquaintances to go to the polls. NFIB has pledged it will activate its grassroots network on behalf of the campaign. NFIB’s political support is based on the candidates’ positions and records on small business issues.
