What Issues Matter to Your Small Business?

What it means: The newest NFIB Member Ballot is open for voting. The results from the ballot guide the top issues NFIB advocates for on behalf of small business owners. NFIB members can vote on their ballot at NFIB.com/VoteMyBallot.

NFIB’s federal Member Ballot launched on August 23. All NFIB members can now vote on issues that matter to their small business. These votes drive NFIB’s advocacy efforts. As a member-driven organization, NFIB relies on a one member, one vote balloting system for its small business owner members. The almost 300,000 NFIB members are asked to vote on timely small business policies, answering questions about their positions on small business legislative and regulatory issues. This ballot includes questions regarding:

Union enforcement of labor laws
Health insurance
Ergonomics
Lawsuit protection
Paid family and medical leave

The results inform NFIB’s policy positions and the legislation that NFIB designates a Key Vote in the U.S. Congress. NFIB asks legislators to support these consensus views of small business owners and reminds members of Congress their votes are monitored and reported to NFIB members in the How Congress Voted report. See how your lawmaker is voting in the current 118th Congress scorecard. Do not miss this opportunity to make your small business voice heard about the issues that matter most to you. These responses impact NFIB’s advocacy efforts on federal policy positions. NFIB members can vote on their ballot at NFIB.com/VoteMyBallot.
