Small-Business Group Endorses Murphy

From the National Federation of Independent Businesses

New York’s leading small business association, the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), has endorsed Dr. Terrence Murphy for the New York State Senate in the 40th District. The endorsement puts the considerable grassroots support of the state’s small businesses behind the Murphy campaign.

In a statement, NFIB-NY Director Mike Durant said, “As a small business owner, Terrence Murphy understands the significant and complex challenges facing small businesses in New York. Terrence with fight to reduce taxes, cut unnecessary red tape and bring real work experience to the State Senate. Simply, Terrence Murphy is the only choice for small business in this race.”

The NFIB is the national’s leading small business association with offices in all fifty capitals and Washington DC. Founded in 1943 as a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, NIFB gives small and independent business owners a voice in shaping the public policy issues that affect their business.

“As a small business owner, it is an honor to have the support of the NFIB,” Dr. Murphy said. “I am proud of my record which includes ushering in $250 million in economic growth and job creation. I look forward to bringing that record to Albany and to stand as the voice for my fellow business owners in the Senate.”

NFIB’s political support is based on the candidate’s position and record on small-business issues.
Murphy’s endorsement comes from the NFIB/New York SAFE (Save America’s Free Enterprise) Trust, the political action committee for NFIB/New York’s membership.
