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. Anthony DeVitis, who is seeking re-election to Ohio’s 36th House
District seat. The district is home to 133 members of NFIB/Ohio. This
endorsement today comes from the NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust, the organization’s
political action committee.
As a fellow small-business owner,
Rep. DeVitis has a shared perspective with Ohio’s entrepreneurs that 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 DeVitis
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, he understands the issues
important to his fellow Ohio small business owners. We applaud his willingness
to offer his valuable time at the Ohio Statehouse as he steps away from his
family business to benefit all Ohioans.”
“As a business owner, I understand the burdens that taxes
and over regulation can place on businesses. The importance of small business
to our economy is paramount and relies on a government that is
business-friendly and regulates within reason. The NFIB is an advocate of this
message and makes certain that government officials are well informed about
these basic needs in order for businesses to thrive. I am honored to be
endorsed by NFIB/Ohio, a true advocate for small business,” said Representative
DeVitis.
