ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 23, 2018—The political action committee of Minnesota’s most influential small-business group, the National Federation of Independent Business, today enthusiastically endorsed former state Rep. Danny McNamara in the Senate District 54 special election.
“Representative McNamara is a proven supporter for small business and a long-time successful small-business owner himself,” said Mike Hickey, NFIB’s Minnesota state director. “In the 14 years he served in the Minnesota House, he had a 95 percent lifetime NFIB voting record and earned a Guardian of Small Business award every term.
“Over his career, Representative McNamara has voted many times for significant tax cuts and reforms to help small business and significantly improve our less than desirable state tax climate. He also voted for significant unemployment insurance tax relief that reduced taxes for most businesses by 27 percent to 29 percent, and he successfully supported some badly needed budget discipline that gave Minnesota the third smallest budget increase in the last 50 years. McNamara also supported the landmark eminent domain reform that provided significant protections to small businesses and other property owners from heavy-handed, government-condemnation takings.
“During his time in the Minnesota House, Denny McNamara has clearly proven his support for small business and in our judgment is by far the best candidate for small business in the Senate District 54 special election.”
Note: this endorsement comes from NFIB’s political action committee, NFIB Minnesota PAC, and is based on positions or votes concerning key small-business issues including taxes, health care, labor and regulatory issues.
