Washington,
DC (February 22, 2016) – The National
Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading
representative of small business owners, is endorsing Rep. John Carter (R-TX)
for reelection. Carter has a strong record of supporting legislation that would
help small businesses grow and thrive and should be returned to the U.S. House
of Representatives.
“Congressman
Carter is a strong voice for small business in the U.S. House,” said NFIB/Texas Executive Director Will Newton.
“We’re especially grateful for his support of permanent tax relief for small
business and his efforts to protect Texas businesses from Washington
bureaucrats. He knows that our state’s small businesses are critical to jobs
and the economy and that they need to be free if we want to see them grow and
thrive.”
“Small
business is the backbone of our economy and the largest job creator in our
nation,” said Carter. “We must do all we can to ensure we do not hamper the
ability for small businesses to grow and succeed. Unfortunately, the Obama
administration does not stand by our pro-growth policies and I will continue to
fight to turn back the President’s crippling regulations.”
Carter
qualified for an endorsement from the NFIB by achieving a 100 percent positive
rating on votes scored in the current Congress. The list of scored votes is
available here.
Carter’s 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.
