Washington, D.C. (September 21, 2016) – The National Federation of
Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading representative of small
business owners, is endorsing Rep. Keith
Rothfus (PA-12) for re-election. Rothfus has a strong record of supporting
legislation that would help small businesses and should be returned to the U.S.
House of Representatives.
“Congressman Rothfus has been a strong voice
for Pennsylvania small businesses and deserves to be re-elected,” said NFIB
National Political Director Sharon Sussin. “He has voted to reduce taxes,
stop oppressive regulations, and repeal Obamacare. On every vote this Congress,
he has stood with small business owners.”
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of
the National Federation of Independent Business,” said Congressman Rothfus.
“For over 73 years the NFIB has been a leading advocate protecting small
businesses from the overreaching hand of government and I am proud to work with
them in this effort. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the
driving force behind the economic recovery that our communities so desperately
need. I look forward to joining the members of the NFIB in the next Congress to
help make an environment that is more hospitable for job creators to grow and
succeed.”
Rothfus qualified for an endorsement from the
NFIB by achieving a high rating on votes scored in the current Congress. The
Congressman earned 100 percent on the 13 votes NFIB has monitored so far. The
list of the votes is available here.
Rothfus’s endorsement today comes from
the NFIB SAFE Trust, the organization’s political action committee. Small
business owners vote in high percentages and they are influential in their
communities.
