WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (Aug. 11, 2022) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, today endorsed Jim Bognet for election to the United States House of Representatives to represent Pennsylvania’s 8^th Congressional District. The endorsement was announced at a campaign event held at NFIB member business Garrety Manufacturing in Wilkes-Barre.

“Jim Bognet has a proven history of supporting small and independent businesses,” said Greg Moreland, NFIB Pennsylvania State Director. “He grew up working in his family’s small business and understands the issues important to small business owners. Jim Bognet has committed to supporting pro-small business policies and fighting against legislation that increases business taxes, regulations, and red tape. We are confident that he is a strong small business candidate, and we look forward to working with him.”

“We are proud to endorse Jim Bognet today,” said Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director. “He understands the challenges of running a small business and will be a small business champion in Congress.”
