Small Business Community Endorses 23 Oklahoma Legislative Candidates Ahead of General Election

OKLAHOMA CITY (Sept. 16, 2024) – The NFIB Oklahoma PAC today endorsed 23 candidates running for seats in the Oklahoma Legislature. The political action committee, comprised solely of NFIB members throughout the state, endorsed 23 pro-small business candidates, including three Senate candidates and 20 House candidates. “Small businesses are the foundation of our state’s economy, creating good-paying jobs and thriving communities,” NFIB State Director Jerrod Shouse said. “A recent NFIB survey found that rising costs are taking a serious toll on our job creators. Main Street Oklahomans need strong advocates in Oklahoma City. These candidates understand the challenges small business owners face and support policies that will make it easier to do business in our state. “On behalf of our small business owner members, I’m proud to announce these endorsements for the 2024 general election and ask all Oklahomans to support these pro-small business candidates.” Early voting begins Wednesday, October 30. Election Day is Tuesday, November 5. For more information on voter registration and other FAQs, visit http://www.ok.gov/elections. The NFIB Oklahoma PAC’s endorsement is important to these campaigns. Small business owners and their employees vote in large 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. CLICK HERE to view the 2024 NFIB Oklahoma Voting Record.
