Comstock Gains Another Pro-Business Endorsement
McLean, VA -- The National Federation of Independent Business,
Virginia’s leading small-business association, has endorsed Delegate Barbara
Comstock in the race for the 34th House of Delegates district.
The endorsement was made by NFIB/Virginia SAFE
(Save America’s Free Enterprise) Trust, which is comprised exclusively of NFIB
members. NFIB has 6,000
small-business members throughout the Commonwealth.
Nicole Riley, state director of NFIB/Virginia,
issued the following statement:
“Delegate
Comstock understands the challenges facing Virginia’s small, family businesses
and is the clear choice in House District 34. "What this means is that Delegate
Comstock has stood up for Virginia's job creators time and again on important
issues such as tax relief, health care reform and the right of employees to
cast secret ballots in union organization elections.
“We
believe Delegate Comstock will continue to take a fiscally responsible approach
to managing state government and support legislation that helps our small
businesses grow and create jobs and puts the Commonwealth back on the pathway
to success.”
Delegate Barbara Comstock issued the following
statement:
“I
am pleased to have the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent
Business. Over the past two years
I have worked with my colleagues in the General Assembly to make job creation
our top priority and Virginia is now the top state for business. This endorsement joins the strong endorsements from the Fairfax
County Chamber of Commerce’s BizPAC, the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s
TechPAC, Northern Virginia Realtors, Associated Builders and Contractors, the
Affordable Shelter PAC and a bipartisan group of business leaders across the
district and the state.”
NFIB’s endorsement is critical to a candidate’s
campaign. Small business owners and their employees vote in high numbers and
are known for actively recruiting friends, family members and acquaintances to
go to the polls. NFIB has pledged it will activate its grassroots network on
behalf of the campaign. NFIB’s political support is based on the candidates’
positions and voting records on small business issues.
