Choices you make center NFIB’s lobbying agenda in Sacramento

NFIB’s California-member state ballot for 2026 is scheduled to arrive in your inbox on or shortly after January 5 and for some members, in their mailboxes also shortly after that date.

Please vote your ballot. NFIB’s reputation as the voice of small business comes directly from what our members tell us, through regular state and federal balloting, are the issues important to their ability to own, operate and grow their enterprises.

State lawmakers and administration officials recognize and respect NFIB as the true voice of small business because of its member-driven structure. So, make your voice heard. Please vote your ballot.

Each question comes with a brief explanation and arguments made by proponents and opponents.
