“We had a productive discussion at our latest Leadership Council meeting and hit on a lot of issues that are currently impacting our members,” said Jared Weiser, NFIB Ohio State Director. “2026 is going to be a big year for small businesses legislatively and politically, and our Leadership Council is ready to engage with lawmakers and advocate for Main Street.”

Bill Seitz, co-chair of the Ohio Property Tax Reform Working Group, and Beth Blackmarr of Citizens for Property Tax Reform joined to discuss developments on property tax reform at the Ohio Statehouse, an issue that will significantly impact Ohio’s small business community.
