Small Business PAC Endorses 32 Candidates for Arizona Legislature

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Chad Heinrich, Arizona State Director, ch@chadheinrich.com or Tony Malandra, Senior Media Manager, anthony.malandra@nfib.org PHOENIX, Sept. 12, 2022—The political action committee for Arizona’s largest and leading small-business association today endorsed 32 candidates for the Arizona Senate and Arizona House of Representatives. NFIB AZ PAC based its endorsements on the voting records of incumbents and on the response to questionnaires returned by challengers and candidates running in open seats. “We carefully vet our endorsed candidates, because small business doesn’t have the luxury of indulging a stray vote against us here and there,” said Chad Heinrich, NFIB’s Arizona state director, speaking for NFIB AZ PAC. “Small businesses in Arizona have worked with great success over the past several years in support of historic, pro-small-business policies, and while we know that new candidates will bring new energy and ideas we also hope that they have a sense of the legacy they’re inheriting and that we look forward to continuing to build a more pro-small-business state.” The endorsed candidates are: State Senate

State House
