“We support the candidates that support small business!”
The state’s leading small business organization, NFIB, announced today that its state political action committee in North Dakota, the NFIB North Dakota PAC, had endorsed candidates for state Senate and House running in the upcoming 2020 General Election.
“The NFIB of North Dakota wants to thank the policy makers who continue to advocate for small businesses at the capitol. Small business is the backbone of our economy and these legislators, many of whom are business owners themselves, understand the importance of having a pro-business climate that consists of fewer regulations and policies that allow small businesses across the state to thrive,” said NFIB State Director in North Dakota, Alison Ritter.
The PAC took several things into consideration before endorsement, but one of the most important tools it uses is NFIB’s voting record, which you can find here. NFIB’s State Director, Alison Ritter, took six key bills during 2019-2020 and scored legislators on how they voted. The voting record is also an important tool our members use before they decide which candidate to vote for.
The NFIB North Dakota PAC’s endorsement is important 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’s political support is based on the candidates’ positions and records on key small-business issues.
