Virginia Small Business Organization Endorses Frederick

The National Federation for Independent Businesses (NFIB) has announced its endorsement of Senate candidate Jeff Frederick.

The NFIB, along with Virginia's Save America's Free Enterprise (SAFE) Trust, have endorsed Frederick becuase he is supportive of small businesses. The organization has 6,000 members in Virginia. The SAFE Trust consists of NFIB members.

"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 SAFE. "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.”

Frederick announced in a statement that the Senate needs to focus on job creation.

"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," said Frederick, a former chairman of the Virginia Small Business Commission. "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."
