Washington, D.C. (July 18, 2016) – The National Federation of
Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading representative of small
business owners, is endorsing Rep. Ron
DeSantis (FL-06) for re-election. DeSantis has a strong record of
supporting legislation that would help small businesses and should be returned
to the U.S. House of Representatives.
“Congressman DeSantis has been a strong voice
for small business and deserves to be re-elected,” said NFIB National
Political Director Sharon Sussin. “He stood with small business owners on
every critical vote the NFIB has scored in this Congress. We need him back in
the U.S. House next year continuing to promote legislation that reduces the tax
and regulatory burdens on small businesses in Florida.”
“At a time in which millions of Americans
have dropped out of the workforce, debt is mounting, and the economy is
sluggish, policies aiming to facilitate economic growth are as essential as
they are overdue,” said Congressman DeSantis. “Small business growth and
vitality are essential to strengthening the economy. We need to liberate small
businesses from an expanding bureaucracy, excessive red tape, and a complex tax
code that all make it more difficult to succeed. That’s why I’m proud to have
the support of NFIB, America’s leading small business association.”
DeSantis qualified for an endorsement from the
NFIB by achieving a high rating on votes scored in the current Congress. The
Congressman earned 100 percent on the 13 votes NFIB has monitored so far. The
list of the votes is available here.
DeSantis’ 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.
