The National Federation of Small Business (NFIB) Florida PAC announced their endorsement of 42 candidates in the State Legislature for election this November through a press release this week.
The endorsements include 27 candidates in the House and 15 candidates in the Senate. The NFIB has advocated for small and independent business owners since 1943.
“We are proud to endorse these candidates and know they will be reliable small business advocates in Tallahassee,” NFIB Florida Executive Director Bill Herrle said. “Florida lawmakers have worked hard to make Florida a top state to own and operate a small business, and it’s important that we continue to elect pro-small business candidates to the Legislature to maintain that status. On behalf of Florida’s small business community, we look forward to supporting these candidates and look forward to working with them.”
