Washington, DC (August 12, 2016) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading advocate for small business owners, today endorsed Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) at an NFIB event at a member business in Anchorage, AK.

“Senator Murkowski has been a strong voice for small businesses in Alaska,” said NFIB President and CEO Juanita Duggan. “She is working to keep taxes low and prevent regulations from strangling small employers. Small businesses across the state and across the country thank her for working to keep electric prices low by encouraging American energy production. She has earned the endorsement of small business owners who want to see her back in the Senate next year.”

“Senator Murkowski has been strong for small businesses. She knows, first hand, the difference between a small business and big businesses,” said NFIB/Alaska State Director Denny DeWitt. “Senator Murkowski has worked with NFIB to address issues important to Alaska’s small businesses, including Obamacare, EPA regulations, and making the $500,000 expensing level permanent. We want to keep her in the Senate looking out for small businesses.”

Murkowski qualified for an endorsement from the NFIB by achieving a high rating on votes scored in the current Congress. The list of scored votes is available here.

The endorsement today comes from the NFIB SAFE Trust, the organization’s political action committee.  Small business owners vote in high percentages and they are influential in their communities. Small business owners vote in high percentages and they are influential in their communities.
