SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 26, 2022—The political action committee for California’s largest and leading small-business association today announced its endorsement of Matt Gunderson for State Senate.

“Matt Gunderson is the most business-friendly candidate in the race for the 38th Senate District, and we’re proud to endorse him,” said John Kabateck, California state director for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), speaking for the NFIB CA PAC, which made the endorsement. “We need a common sense, pragmatic leader to help our business community recover from the damage of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions and decades of anti-business legislation. As a small business owner himself, I trust Matt to be the leader that the business community needs in Sacramento.”

The 38th State Senate District includes the southern Orange County communities of Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Hills, Ladera Ranch, Rancho Mission Viejo, Las Flores and Coto de Caza. The district extends down the coast to include the San Diego County cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, Camp Pendleton, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch, and the City of San Diego.

NFIB’s national membership spans the spectrum of business operations, ranging from sole proprietor enterprises to firms with hundreds of employees. While there is no standard definition of a small business, the typical NFIB member employs 10 people and reports gross sales of about $500,000 a year. The NFIB membership is a reflection of American small business. Small-business owners are also a potent political force.
