The NFIB Mississippi PAC has endorsed state Sen. Jenifer Branning for a seat on the state Supreme Court. The political action committee is comprised exclusively of NFIB members from throughout Mississippi.

“Jenifer Branning’s experience as a lawyer and state senator has prepared her well for a seat on the state Supreme Court,” NFIB State Director Leah Long said.

“Our state Supreme Court can have a great influence on Mississippi’s economy,” Long said. “Over the years, Senator Branning has shown our members she understands the issues facing Main Street businesses. She achieved a 97 percent NFIB voting record during her time in the legislature. Our members believe this insight would serve her well on the Supreme Court.

“We need to elect justices who won’t try to legislate from the bench,” Long said. “We need justices with no agenda other than treating everyone fairly. That’s why the NFIB Mississippi PAC is proud to endorse Jenifer Branning.”

Today’s endorsement puts the considerable grassroots support of the state’s small businesses behind Branning’s campaign. Small business owners and their employees vote in high numbers and are known for recruiting friends, family members, and acquaintances to vote. NFIB will encourage its Mississippi members to help turn out the powerful small-business voting bloc on Election Day.
