NFIB Backs Rep. Dan Newhouse’s Reelection, Lending Strong Support from Business Community
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), a prominent voice for small businesses across the United States, has officially endorsed Rep. Dan Newhouse for his reelection bid to continue serving Washington’s 4th Congressional District. This endorsement marks a significant vote of confidence from the small business community, recognizing Rep. Newhouse not only for his deep agricultural roots as a third-generation farmer but also for his exemplary record on issues critical to the economic vitality of small enterprises.
Patrick Connor, the NFIB Washington State Director, lauded Rep. Newhouse for his steadfast commitment to fostering an environment where small businesses can thrive. Connor specifically spotlighted Newhouse’s efforts to champion pro-growth policies and his dedication to cutting through the red tape of government regulations, which often stymie small business operations. Similarly, NFIB Senior National Political Director Sharon Sussin applauded Rep. Newhouse for maintaining a 100% NFIB voting record, underscoring his active opposition to restrictive measures like the EPA’s Waters of the United States rule that threaten the autonomy and growth of small businesses.
Upon receiving the NFIB’s endorsement, Rep. Newhouse expressed his gratitude and reaffirmed his dedication to advancing policies that relieve small businesses from burdensome taxes and regulations. His commitment is further evidenced by his support of legislation such as the Main Street Tax Certainty Act, aimed at ensuring enduring tax relief for small operations, and his advocacy for energy affordability, healthcare cost reduction, and the overall reduction of bureaucratic hurdles.
As Chairman of the Western Caucus, Rep. Newhouse has distinguished himself as a key advocate for the small business sector, illustrating his understanding of the challenges faced by local businesses and leveraging his position to enact meaningful change. With the backing of the NFIB, his campaign gains a pivotal ally, emphasizing the shared vision of a more prosperous, less regulated market for the heart of America’s economy—its small businesses.
