The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Federal PAC Committee, the nation’s largest advocacy nonprofit, nonpartisan organization representing small and independent businesses, endorsed Scott Baugh for U.S. Congress.

The National Federation of Independent Business prides itself on being the voice of small businesses throughout the U.S. NFIB played a major role in helping small businesses navigate the Covid-19 pandemic and notably, had policy victories in the form of reformed taxes, reduced regulations, a Paycheck Protection Program, and repealing harmful provisions in Obamacare.

Comment from Scott Baugh:

“I am very excited and thankful for this endorsement from the National Federation of Independent Business. Taxes on small businesses are oppressively high. Democrats have targeted these businesses with 87,000 new IRS agents. We must promote rather than smother our small-business owners, as they are the backbone of America.”
