Dear Rep. Goehner:
Congratulations! On behalf of our 7,000 member small-business owners here in the Evergreen State, we are pleased to announce that the NFIB Washington PAC endorses your campaign for state senate. As you may know, 99.5 percent of all businesses in Washington are small businesses, and they employ 49 percent of our state’s private-sector workforce – 1.4 million people – according to US Small Business Administration (PDF) data. Small business truly is the economic engine powering the state of Washington. And, (PDF) research shows voters prefer small business backed candidates to those supported by organized labor or other groups.
This endorsement is primarily based on your NFIB Voting Record. The most recent two-year tally (2023-24) applies for state Representatives, and four years (2021-24) for state Senators and Senate candidates. Sponsorship of NFIB-request legislation and amendments, outreach and accessibility to our members and staff, and other efforts specifically in support of our organization were also strongly considered in making this endorsement.
