NFIB, Georgia’s and the nation’s leading small-business association, today endorsed Rep. John Barrow for re-election to Congress from the 12th District.
“NFIB supports the candidates who support small business, and, year after year, John Barrow has been a strong advocate for Georgia’s small, family businesses,” said Lisa Goeas, NFIB vice president for Political and Grassroots.
“His NFIB Voting Record in the 113th Congress shows that he supports the issues that matter to our members,” Goeas said. Earlier this month, he received an NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award. The award is given to lawmakers who vote with small business at least 70 percent of the time.
“John Barrow is one of the most consistent voices for small business in the House,” Goeas said. “We need to re-elect John Barrow so he can continue to fight for lower taxes and sensible regulations.”
NFIB has over 7,000 dues-paying members in Georgia, representing a cross section of the state’s economy. Barrow’s endorsement comes from NFIB’s SAFE (Save America’s Free Enterprise) Trust, the association’s political action committee, and is based on the candidate’s positions regarding key small-business issues including health care, taxes, and labor and regulatory issues.
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 Barrow on Election Day.
