“NFIB stands firmly with candidates who support small business and free enterprise,” said Jim Brown, state director of NFIB/Tennessee. “These endorsed candidates have consistently voted or have pledged to support small businesses on the issues that impact their ability to own, operate and grow their enterprises.”
NFIB’s endorsement is critical to these campaigns. Small business owners and their employees vote in high numbers and are known for actively recruiting friends, family members, and acquaintances to go to the polls. NFIB has pledged it will activate its grassroots network on behalf of these campaigns. NFIB’s political support is based on the candidates’ positions and records on small business issues.
NFIB is Tennessee’s leading small-business association, representing a cross-section of the state’s economy. To learn more, visit www.NFIB.com/TN or follow @NFIB_TN on Twitter.
