NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 14, 2025) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, endorsed Matt Van Epps for election to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Tennessee’s 7^th Congressional District. The election is being held on December 2, 2025.

“Matt Van Epps is the pro-small business candidate in this special election. He has experience running his own business and strongly supports NFIB priorities,” said Jim Brown, NFIB Tennessee State Director. “His track record of leadership and service will make him a strong advocate for our members in Congress. We look forward to working with Matt Van Epps and are pleased to endorse him today.”

“Matt Van Epps will be a champion for Main Street in Congress,” said Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director. “His distinguished background in public service and as an entrepreneur proves that he can lead on issues that NFIB members care most about, such as lowering taxes and reducing burdensome government regulations. We are proud to endorse Matt Van Epps and look forward to working together to support the small business economy.”

The endorsement is issued from NFIB FedPAC, NFIB’s political action committee. NFIB FedPAC is funded by voluntary contributions by NFIB members over and above their membership dues. Decisions made by the NFIB FedPAC are managed by a member-driven grassroots evaluation.
