National Federation of Independent Business Says Boehner Is “Working to Deliver Results for Our Nation’s Job Creators”
WEST CHESTER, OHIO – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) has earned the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business association.
“In a time when there is a lot of focus on helping small business, some leaders just talk about it and others work to find ways to deliver on it. Congressman Boehner is one of those leaders working to deliver results for our nation’s job creators,” said Lisa Goeas, NFIB’s vice president for political operations.
In fact, to help small businesses create new jobs, Boehner has presented President Obama with a “no cost” jobs plan and several options for cutting government spending – the best way to boost the economy according to 100 economists. Boehner also backs straightforward proposals for repealing the president’s government takeover of health care and replacing it with common-sense reforms that will lower costs, and has aggressively fought the “cap and trade” national energy tax that would devastate Ohio employers and famers.
“Having run a small business, I’m honored by NFIB’s endorsement and proud to have their support,” said Boehner. “The Democrats running Washington don’t understand what it takes to meet a payroll, grow a business, or hire new workers. For more than 18 months they’ve focused more on growing government than growing the economy, and our private sector employers have paid the price. That’s why I’m committed to helping small businesses create new jobs by cutting government spending, stopping the president’s small business tax hike, and scrapping laws like ObamaCare that raise costs and create uncertainty for families and employers.”
Boehner represents Ohio’s Eighth Congressional District which includes all of Darke, Miami and Preble counties, most of Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern corner of Montgomery County. He also serves as Republican Leader in the United States House of Representatives.
