For the legislative and political week of October 12-16
Welcome to the October 12 edition of the NFIB California Main Street Minute from your small-business advocacy team in Sacramento.
- With the Legislature closed for business and the time for the governor to act on bills sent to him passed, all activity turns to Election Day, less than a month away.
- NFIB California will start this week by sending out its final three legislative endorsement news releases, all for seats in the State Assembly: Kelly Seyarto in District 67; Janet Nguyen in District 72; and Melanie Burkholder in District 76.
- Along with prior endorsement releases, they can be found on the NFIB California webpage.

- So, what’s happening with congressional efforts on providing small-business owners with liability protection against unfair and impossible-to-substantiate COVID 19 lawsuits thrown at them? This guest editorial in The Colorado Sun will give you the latest, and where you see the word ‘Colorado’ in the piece, you can substitute the word ‘California’ in its place, because the Golden State is very much like its Rocky Mountain counterpart on the issue.
