July 11, 2024

NFIB Arizona endorses 38 pro-small business incumbent candidates running for re-election to the state Senate and House of Representatives.

PHOENIX (July 11, 2024) –The NFIB Arizona PAC today endorsed 38 candidates for seats in the Arizona Legislature. The political action committee, comprised solely of NFIB members throughout the state, endorsed 38 incumbent candidates running for seats in the Senate and House of Representatives.

“Main Street Arizonans are the backbone of our economy and communities,” NFIB State Director Chad Heinrich said. “Over the past several years, our small business owners have faced a host of challenges, including inflation and a tightening labor market. These lawmakers understand how policy proposals can impact the cost of doing business and have demonstrated a commitment to promoting greater economic opportunity for Arizonans.

“On behalf of our small business owner members, I’m proud to announce these endorsements and ask all Arizonans to support pro-small business candidates.”

Early voting begins on Wednesday, July 3. The Primary Election Day is Tuesday, July 30. If you don’t know your legislative district, click here and enter your address to find your district. For more information on voter registration and other FAQs, visit the Secretary of State’s website.

The NFIB Arizona 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.
