The political action committee of
the National Federation of Independent Business/Ohio, the state’s leading small business
association representing 25,000 entrepreneurs, is proud to announce its endorsement of Rep. Andy Thompson, who is seeking re-election to Ohio’s 95th
House District seat. The district is home to 558 dues paying members of
NFIB/Ohio. This endorsement today comes from the NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust, the
organization’s political action committee.
Thompson is a small-business owner
and has been a member of NFIB for 29 years.
He is currently one of the 34 dues paying members of NFIB serving in the
Ohio Legislature. As a fellow small-business owner, Rep. Thompson’s shared
perspective with Ohio’s entrepreneurs allows him to understand the issues
NFIB/Ohio advocates for and against at the Ohio
Statehouse.
During his time in the Ohio House
of Representatives, he has been an advocate for cutting taxes and lowering the
cost of doing business in Ohio. Those ideas are embraced by the membership as
shown by the results of NFIB/Ohio’s surveying of small-business owners throughout
the state.
“Representative Thompson
has been approved through NFIB/Ohio’s
member-driven process that thoroughly reviews candidates’ records, stated
positions and understanding of small-business issues before an endorsement is issued,” said Roger R. Geiger, vice
president and executive director of NFIB/Ohio. “As a member of NFIB serving in
the Ohio Legislature with a 100% voting record on our issues, he certainly
understands the issues important to Ohio’s economic engine, small-business
owners. He has been a great member of the Ohio Legislature to work with, and we
look forward to continuing that work in the future.”
“I am pleased to be endorsed by NFIB, which has my utmost
respect. NFIB stands for the job creators; the risk takers, the community leaders,
the principled citizens who make our economy go, and I am proud to stand with
you,” said Representative Thompson.
