Small Business PAC endorse 32 candidates for Arizona Legislature
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - On Monday, the Small Business PAC has endorsed 32 candidates for Arizona Legislature.
According to a press release, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Arizona PAC based their endorsements on the incumbent's voting records.
Not only that, the NFIB AZ PAC also based their endorsements on the candidates' and challenegers' response to their questionnaires.
Furthermore, the 32 candidates are running for Arizona Senate and Arizona House of Representatives.
“We carefully vet our endorsed candidates, because small business doesn’t have the luxury of indulging a stray vote against us here and there,” said Chad Heinrich, NFIB’s Arizona state director, speaking for NFIB AZ PAC.
“Small businesses in Arizona have worked with great success over the past several years in support of historic, pro-small-business policies, and while we know that new candidates will bring new energy and ideas we also hope that they have a sense of the legacy they’re inheriting and that we look forward to continuing to build a more pro-small-business state.”
