Pittston—The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, today endorsed Rob Bresnahan for Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District. Small independent businesses play a crucial role in the district’s economy, and this endorsement highlights the strong support Bresnahan’s campaign enjoys from a vital voting bloc.
Following the endorsement from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in April, the NFIB’s endorsement marks the second national business group to support Bresnahan over incumbent Congressman Matt Cartwright.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the NFIB. As a third-generation business owner, I know firsthand the challenges small businesses face,” said Rob Bresnahan. “In Congress, I will fight for policies that create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and support the hardworking entrepreneurs who drive our economy. The people of Northeastern Pennsylvania have my word that I will always be a strong advocate for small businesses in our communities and across the country.”
“Rob Bresnahan is a fifth-generation Northeastern Pennsylvanian and a third-generation business owner,” said Greg Moreland, NFIB Pennsylvania State Director. “He has vast experience as a businessman creating jobs for the community, an experience that will be exceptionally beneficial in Congress. We are confident that Rob Bresnahan will be a strong small business ally and support policies that will strengthen the economy, create jobs, and raise wages. On behalf of small businesses in Pennsylvania, we are pleased to endorse Rob Bresnahan today.”
“As a small business owner, Rob Bresnahan understands the importance of pro-small business legislation,” said Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director. “We know he will prioritize small business issues in Congress and be a reliable small business advocate. We are proud to endorse Rob Bresnahan today and look forward to working with him.”
