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 former Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives Larry Householder, who is seeking election to Ohio’s 72nd House District seat. The district is home to 311 dues paying members of NFIB/Ohio. This endorsement today comes from the NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust, the organization’s political action committee.
Householder is a strong advocate of government economic responsibility. He shares the same concerns as Ohio’s entrepreneurs and sees small-business owners as key components to Ohio’s economic success.
“Larry Householder 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. “During his time in the Ohio House of Representatives, he earned a 90% voting record on our issues. We look forward to working with him again to continue to move Ohio’s economy forward in the next Ohio General Assembly in 2017.”
“The largest employer in Ohio is our small businesses. In our past, Ohio was the envy of our nation. The leader in ingenuity, invention, natural resources and location. While constantly striving forward, Ohio must also remember how we arrived at where we are and never lose sight of what we do best. Small business is at the very heart of every Ohio community. What’s good for mom and pop stores in communities across our State, has just got to be good for Ohio,” said Householder.
