The National Federation of
Independent Business, Oklahoma’s and the nation’s leading small-business
association, today endorsed James Lankford for U.S. Senate.
“Our members support the candidates who support small
business,” said Lisa Goeas, NFIB vice president for Political and Grassroots.
“James Lankford has stood with our members time and again in the House. We need
leaders like him in the Senate.”
Jerrod Shouse, state director of NFIB/Oklahoma said,
“Throughout his career, James Lankford’s commitment to small business has been
second to none. His support of free enterprise has been unwavering. If we’re
serious about fixing things for small business, we need to elect James Lankford
to the Senate.”
Lankford has earned a 100-percent lifetime NFIB Voting
Record, supporting the small-business position on key issues such as
overturning the Affordable Care Act, passing sensible regulations and easing
the tax burden on small-business owners and working families.
Lankford’s endorsement comes from the NFIB SAFE (Save
America’s Free Enterprise) Trust, the association’s political action committee,
and is based on the candidate’s record and positions on key small-business
issues including health care, taxes and labor and regulatory issues.
NFIB has over 4,000 dues-paying members in
Oklahoma representing a cross section of the state’s economy. 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
will encourage its members to help turn out the small-business vote for James
Lankford on Election Day.
