If you're a small business ally running for office and interested in NFIB's backing and support, contact us now.
Our political action committee, the SAFE Trust, endorses pro-small business candidates. We are focused on protecting incumbents who are proven allies of small business, electing pro-small business candidates in open seats, and challenging anti-small business incumbents. The endorsement process on the federal level varies based on the type of race—incumbent, challenger or open seat.
If you're running for federal office and are interested in our support, contact Sharon Wolff Sussin, National Political Director, at sharon.wolff@NFIB.org or (202) 554-9000.
Unlike many other national organizations, NFIB also operates individual PACs in most states that support candidates at the state level. If you’re a candidate running for state office and interested in our support, please visit your state page.
If you're a candidate seeking support from the NFIB SAFE Trust, you may print and complete the questionnaire. Completed questionnaires are required for all non-incumbent candidates who are seeking the SAFE Trust endorsement.
Please return your questionnaire to us at:
