The National Federation of
Independent Business/Ohio (NFIB/Ohio), the state’s leading small business
association representing 25,000 entrepreneurs, is proud to announce its endorsement of Wes Goodman, who is seeking election to Ohio’s 87th
House District seat. The district is home to 458 dues paying members of
NFIB/Ohio. This endorsement today comes from the NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust, the
organization’s political action committee.
Goodman comes from a family background
of farmers, and this small businesses background allows him a shared
perspective with many of Ohio’s entrepreneurs to understand the issues advocated
for and against by NFIB/Ohio. He
understands that it is not the government
that creates jobs, but the entrepreneurs in Ohio, and stands for cutting taxes
and lowering the cost of doing business in the state. Those ideas are embraced
by the membership as shown by the results of NFIB/Ohio’s surveying of
small-business owners throughout Ohio.
“Wes Goodman has been approved through NFIB/Ohio’s member-driven
process that thoroughly reviews candidates’ records, stated positions and
understanding of small-business issues before an endorsement is issued,” said Roger R. Geiger, vice
president and executive director of NFIB/Ohio. “With his background of working
with some true leaders in Ohio, he has the understanding of how government
should function. He will help make Ohio an even better place for entrepreneurs
to own, operate and grow their businesses. We look forward to working with him when
he is elected this November.”
“Growing up on our family farm I learned firsthand the
joys and the challenges that small business owners face every day. During this
campaign, the stories of small and family business owners and employees across
our district have inspired me as I see them serve our communities in so many
ways. I am honored and humbled to be endorsed by NFIB Ohio and to be entrusted
by small business owners across our state to fight on your behalf,” said
Goodman.
“As your state representative, I will work every day to make
Ohio more economically competitive, a better place to start, run, and grow a
business, and a state where families and communities continue to have the best
shot at living the American Dream,” he continued.
