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 Scott Wiggam, who is seeking election to Ohio’s 1st House District seat. The district is home to 700 dues paying members of NFIB/Ohio. This endorsement today comes from the NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust, the organization’s political action committee.
Wiggam stands for a limited, more effective government. With a small businesses background in owning a restaurant, his shared perspective with Ohio’s entrepreneurs allows him to understand the issues advocated for and against by NFIB/Ohio. Wiggam knows that it is not the government that creates jobs, but the entrepreneurs in Ohio, and believes in 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.
“Scott Wiggam 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 small business background, he will help to 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.”
“Small businesses have been the catalyst behind the 13% job growth that has occurred in my district since the recession. As a former small business owner and current county commissioner, I know how important it is to reduce government regulations and taxation in order to grow jobs and raise salaries. That is why I am honored to receive the endorsement of NFIB, the largest organization representing small businesses in my district,” said Wiggam.
