OLYMPIA, Wash. (Aug. 24, 2022) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, today endorsed Tiffany Smiley for election to the United States Senate to represent Washington.

“For 30 years, the needs of Main Street small businesses in Washington state have been all but ignored by ‘the other Washington,’” said Patrick Connor, NFIB Washington State Director. “D.C.’s answer to ongoing workforce shortages, supply chain disruptions, and record inflation is to hire more IRS agents to shakedown small employers and middle-class families. It’s time for a new voice to represent Washington state in Washington, D.C. That’s why NFIB is pleased to endorse Tiffany Smiley, a small business owner, for the United States Senate. She understands firsthand the problems our small businesses face and has pledged to work for critical tax and regulatory relief for Main Street – in Washington state and in every state of the union. We need Tiffany Smiley speaking up for us in Congress.”

“As small business owners manage historic economic headwinds, it is important that they have reliable supporters in Congress,” said Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director. “Tiffany Smiley will be an advocate for small businesses, and we look forward to working with her.”

The endorsement is issued from NFIB FedPAC, NFIB’s political action committee. NFIB FedPAC is funded by voluntary contributions by NFIB members over and above their membership dues. Decisions made by the NFIB FedPAC are managed by a member-driven grassroots evaluation.
