The political action committee for Iowa’s largest and leading small-business association, NFIB, publicized its endorsements of candidates running for a seat in the Iowa legislature as well as statewide offices.

“All the candidates we endorse have an appreciation of the fact that small businesses are not smaller versions of big businesses,” said Matt Everson, NFIB State Director in Iowa. “The candidates that our NFIB PAC chooses to endorse understand how the policies they enact into law impact small business owners on a day-to-day basis. During debate or deliberation, they understand that what they vote on could make a huge difference in a rule, regulation, or tax.”
