Letter to the Editor: Support Chris Gerlach for County Commissioner

To the editor,

Chris Gerlach a Strong Supporter of Small Business

Chris Gerlach, candidate for Dakota County Commissioner, deserves to be elected. He has proven to be a sound and active supporter of small business and job development in Minnesota.

As current chair of the state leadership council of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), I am honored to announce that Chris will again receive the Guardian of Small Business award this year. He has been presented this award every term that he has served in office.

Small businesses are the job growth engine of this state and Chris, a small business owner himself, has supported legislation that has helped make the Minnesota business environment more small business friendly. As chair of the Senate’s Commerce Committee, he has been instrumental in supporting legislation that helped stimulate job growth and economic development in our state and he will continue those efforts on the Dakota County Board.
