Early Voting Begins This Friday, September 17th
NFIB, the state’s leading small business organization, announced that its state political action committee, the NFIB VA PAC, endorsed 55 candidates in both statewide and House of Delegates races in the upcoming 2021 General Election. The names of the endorsed Statewide and House candidates are listed at the bottom of this article.
This year’s state elections are the most critical elections we’ll see in more than a decade for small business owners. With new leadership in Richmond, a tidal wave of bills pushing labor mandates and a variety of other regulatory burdens that would tie the hands of small business owners were approved by the new majority.
Now is the time to raise your voice at the ballot box! Support the candidates that support small business this year when you go to the polls or fill out a ballot. Please share this information with your friends, family, employees, and fellow business owners. We need to get elect pro-business leaders! So, let’s turn the tide in Richmond this year by raising our collective voice during this critical election.
The endorsements were made by the NFIB VA PAC based on surveys and interviews with the candidates on small business issues. In the case of incumbent lawmakers, small business voting records were used as a determining factor.
