The political action committee for California’s largest and leading small business association has endorsed Suzette Valladares for State Senate in the three-county area 23rd District.

The NFIB CA PAC, the political action committee for NFIB California, based its endorsement of Valladares on her 2021-2022 voting record on issues of importance to small business. She scored an 80% pro-small-business tally.

“Every elected official claims to be a friend of small business, that’s just good politics, but when it comes time to really show you are, most can’t be found,” said NFIB California State Director John Kabateck. “Suzette Valladares has always been there for the mom-and-pop small businesses and has the record to prove it. She was a solid and consistent supporter of NFIB’s small business priorities during her service in the State Assembly, and we are confident she will defend and protect Main Street interests with the same energy and enthusiasm in the Senate. She’s a proven friend of small business, not just in words, but in deeds.”

For 80 years, NFIB has been advocating on behalf of America’s small and independent business owners, both in Washington, D.C., and in all 50 state capitals. NFIB is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, and member-driven association. Since its founding in 1943, NFIB has been exclusively dedicated to small and independent businesses and remains so today.
