Endorsed candidates are committed to pro-growth policies, helping Main Street thrive.
The state’s leading small business political action committee today announced its second round of endorsements of candidates for the Minnesota House of Representatives. All 134 seats in the Minnesota House are up for election this year.
Minnesota small businesses continue to struggle with economic and regulatory headwinds. Higher taxes, more mandates, lingering inflation, and a chronic workforce shortage have made it harder for small businesses to keep up. Now more than ever, Main Street needs strong advocates in the Legislature.
“These candidates support policies that will help Main Street thrive and are willing to fight for the rights of our members to own, operate, and grow their businesses in Minnesota,” said John Reynolds, NFIB Minnesota State Director. “This group of folks is absolutely committed to making our state a better place to raise a family and do business. We look forward to working with them on pro-growth policies next year.”
State legislative endorsements are determined by the NFIB MN PAC Board, which is comprised of small business owners in Minnesota. Incumbent legislative endorsements are based on the 2023-24 NFIB MN Voting Record, which reflects how a lawmaker voted on priority issues for small business owners.
NFIB represents over 10,000 small businesses in Minnesota. The NFIB MN PAC endorsement is an important signal to voters across the state that a candidate will stand with small business. Today’s announced endorsements are listed below.
