NFIB/Utah SAFE Trust Endorsements
With the 2008 General Election upon us, NFIB/Utah has announced its election endorsements. The NFIB/Utah SAFE Trust discussed and determined these important legislative endorsements. A number of factors influence the decision to endorse a candidate, such as the candidate's backing of small business issues, whether the candidate has been supportive of NFIB/Utah and the candidate's voting record in 2008.
Below is the list of NFIB/Utah-endorsed candidates seeking election or reelection. NFIB members can also contact NFIB/Utah State Director Candace Daly with any questions.
