The National Federation of Independent Business, Virginia’s leading small-business association, has endorsed Jeff Frederick in the 36th Senate District race.
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.
“Jeff Frederick understands the challenges facing Virginia’s small, family businesses and is the clear choice in Senate District 36,” said Nicole Riley, state director of NFIB/Virginia.
“We believe Jeff Frederick will 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.”
“Job creation needs to be the Virginia Senate’s top priority, and unfortunately it is not,” said Frederick, a former Chairman of the Virginia Small Business Commission. “It’s time for the Senate to stop being the roadblock on moving Virginia forward, especially in attracting businesses, creating jobs, and growing the economy. Virginia’s economy cannot prosper without small businesses prospering. Too many Richmond politicians see small businesses as sources of government revenue, rather than creators of jobs.”
