NFIB Endorses Roger Crawford in Race for State Representative in District 8B
ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 29, 2010—The National Federation of Independent Business’s political action committee, Minnesota Save America’s Free Enterprise Trust, enthusiastically endorsed Roger Crawford today in the race against State Rep. Tim Faust in District 8B.
NFIB is the state’s and nation’s largest small business advocacy group with approximately 12,000 members in Minnesota and a significant member base in every district.
Roger Crawford is a strong supporter of small business and is a self-employed real estate appraiser. “He has a tremendous concern for small business and for improving the Minnesota business climate, and that is much appreciated” said State Director Mike Hickey.
On the other hand, Rep. Tim Faust has a cumulative NFIB voting record of only 24 percent for the years he has served in the Legislature. He has voted against small business on key issues the vast majority of the time.
“When you add it all up, it’s an easy choice for us in District 8B” said Hickey. “We strongly and enthusiastically support Roger Crawford and urge small business owners across this legislative district to vote for Roger on Election Day.”
