Small Business Endorses Full Slate of State Legislative Candidates

ALBANY - New Yorks leading small business association, the National Federation of Independent Business,
has announced 82 total endorsements to worthy candidates seeking office in both the State Assembly and
Senate.

This election is critical to the economic present and future of New York, said Mike Durant, NFIB/NY State
Director. Broadly addressing the complicated issues that small businesses face is essential and each of these
candidates has shown a commitment to advocating strongly on behalf of small business.

These endorsements of challengers and incumbents are based on member input, candidate questionnaires and
the 2013-14 NFIB/NY Voting Record.

The economic reality our members are facing in New York is vastly different than the idealistic picture being
presented. These candidates offer both rhetorical and substantive support of Main Street. NFIB is unwavering
in our effort to change the dynamic in Albany and will be aggressive in our push to elect these candidates,
Durant said.
