The National Federation of
Independent Business, Ohio’s and the nation’s leading small-business
association, today announced the endorsement of 12 members of the U.S. House of
Representatives running for reelection.
“We support the candidates who support small business,”
said Roger R. Geiger, vice president and executive director of NFIB/Ohio. The
candidates are:
1st District: Steve
Chabot
2nd District: Brad Wenstrup
4th District: Jim
Jordan
5th District: Bob
Latta
6th District: Bill
Johnson
7th District: Bob
Gibbs
8th District: John
Boehner
10th District: Mike
Turner
12th District: Pat
Tiberi
14th District: Dave
Joyce
15th District: Steve
Stivers
16th District: Jim
Renacci
“These endorsed candidates have been strong supporters
of small business issues during their time in Washington, DC and understand the
need for a vibrant small business community in their districts back home,”
Geiger said.
NFIB has over 25,000 dues-paying members in Ohio,
representing a cross-section of the state’s economy. The endorsements come from
NFIB’s Save America’s Free Enterprise (SAFE) Trust, the association’s political
action committee, and are based on positions regarding key small-business
issues including health care, taxes, and labor and regulatory issues.
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 will encourage its members to help turn out the
small-business vote for the candidates in the May primary and again in
November.
