Columbus, Ohio — Today, Sen. Jon Husted continued building momentum with another major endorsement, earning the support of the National Federation of Independent Business. The endorsement from the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization underscores his strong record of standing up for Ohio’s small businesses and advancing policies that help them grow and succeed.

The NFIB, which represents thousands of small business owners, praised Husted’s commitment to fostering a pro-business environment and his ability to advance policies that drive economic growth, create jobs and support entrepreneurship.

“Jon Husted has been a true, long-time friend of small businesses in Ohio,” said Jared Weiser, NFIB Ohio State Director. “At the Ohio Statehouse, he had a 100% NFIB voting record, and his work jumpstarted Ohio’s economic turnaround. As Secretary of State, he made Ohio the quickest and least costly state in the Midwest to start and maintain a business. We know Senator Husted will continue to be a champion for the small business community in the U.S. Senate and we are confident Ohioans will join us in supporting his re-election in November.”

“Senator Husted has been a trusted small business advocate during his time in Congress,” said Louis Bertolotti, NFIB acting political director. “He has a strong pro-small business voting record, including his vote to make the 20 percent Small Business Deduction permanent and his advocacy to repeal the invasive BOI mandate on small business owners. We are confident he will continue to be a small business ally in the U.S. Senate, and we are pleased to endorse him today.”

”I am passionate about creating new opportunities and a growing economy in every part of the state – a drive that started when my own father lost his job in the local machine factory and my family had to leave Ohio to find work,” said Sen. Jon Husted (R–Ohio). “Our small businesses are the backbone of Ohio’s economy and they can always count on me to fight for them and the hard-working team members that move our economy forward. I’m grateful to have earned the support and trust of the NFIB and the job creators they represent in every corner of our state.”
