“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 Oklahoma, the NFIB Oklahoma PAC, had endorsed candidates for state Senate and House running in the upcoming 2020 General Election.
“Congratulations to our Oklahoma state legislative candidates on their endorsement. All of them have been through a review process from small business owners and have proven to be champions for our small business owners,” said NFIB’s State Director in Oklahoma, Jerrod Shouse. “These legislators understand that small business owners are the key to keeping Oklahoma’s economy running. Now, more than ever, it is important that we support the small business owners who are keeping their employees and customers safe during a economic and health crisis.”
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, Jerrod Shouse, took eight 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 Oklahoma 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.
