NFIB ROLLS OUT STATE RACE ENDORSEMENTS
CONCORD (October 4, 2016) – New Hampshire SAFE Trust, the political action committee formed by the state’s most influential small business group, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), announced their endorsements today of candidates in races for seats in the New Hampshire House and State Senate.
“On behalf of the members of NFIB in New Hampshire, it is a great honor to endorse each and every one of these candidates. These incumbents and challengers have received NFIB’s endorsement because they have demonstrated the determination to protect small business owners in the state of New Hampshire,,” said NFIB New Hampshire state director, Bruce Berke. “We will certainly be advocating for policies that reduce government roles in the operation of a small business as well as the second phase of the business tax cuts that are scheduled to take place soon and hope to be fighting alongside these candidates when we do. Allowing small businesses to keep their hard earned dollars will result in increased job creation and expanding infrastructure, empowering the communities where small businesses reside and creating fiscal growth throughout the state.”
NFIB endorsements of challengers were based on member input and candidate questionnaires. NFIB support for incumbents is determined by the 2015-16 NFIB New Hampshire Voting Record<https://www.nfib.com/new-hampshire/voting-record/>. The list of NFIB endorsed Senate and Houses candidates, to date, can be found below.
“Small business owners take casting their vote seriously, and we are proud to say that our endorsement process is one that is based not on rhetoric or talking points but on each candidate’s record or view on issues critical to the small business community,” continued Berke. “In order to create the change we need to prosper economically, it is imperative that each of our endorsed candidates be victorious on November 8.”
