Claudia Tenney, Republican candidate for Congress in New York-22, today accepted the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business.
Tenney said, “As the owner of a small manufacturing facility that employs nearly 70 people in the 22nd district, it is an honor to be endorsed by NFIB — the leading advocate for small business owners across the country. While running my family’s business, I experienced firsthand the hardships that failed liberal policies have created for our communities. I first sought election to the Assembly in 2010 on a pro-small business platform calling for smaller government, lower taxes and less regulation. Overreaching government regulations and oppressive taxation have driven small businesses out of our community, and it is time that we elect a leader to Congress who will boldly stand for our struggling business owners. I have a proven record of providing a strong voice for small business owners, and I will bring that same conviction to Washington.”
“Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney is a small business owner and NFIB member who knows what Congress needs to do to grow the economy and create jobs,” said NFIB National Political Director Sharon Sussin. “In the U.S. House, she would fight against excessive regulations and high taxes. Her fellow small business owners need her voice and expertise in Washington.”
Tenney’s business, Mid-York Press, Inc. is a pharmaceutical packaging firm that was started by her grandfather in 1946. Mid-York Press currently employs nearly 70 people in the Chenango County community of Sherburne.
