Several Pro-Small Business Candidates Won Tuesday Night
As Florida’s small businesses continue to report high economic uncertainty and low optimism, small business voters elected many small business-friendly candidates to help ease the inflationary and regulatory pressures facing their businesses. Numerous NFIB FedPAC and NFIB Florida PAC endorsed candidates won their respective elections.
“We are pleased to see so many pro-small business candidates win their elections, and we are confident that they will prioritize Florida’s Main Street in Washington, D.C. and Tallahassee,” said Bill Herrle, NFIB Florida Executive State Director. “There are various challenges that Florida’s small businesses are managing, and it is crucial that these elected officials support policies that will strengthen our economy and continue to make Florida a great place to do business.”
