\"\"NFIB endorses Tenney<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney received the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business Aug. 21, 2018.<\/p>\n

“As an owner of our family’s small manufacturing business located in the heart of Upstate New York, I have a unique understanding of the struggles facing our small business community,\u201d said Tenney. “As a single parent struggling to keep our family’s small business open under Albany’s crushing tax burden, I\u00a0understand\u00a0that our small businesses needed a voice, and that’s why I first ran for office.”<\/p>\n

\u201cCongresswoman Tenney has been a true champion for New York small businesses during her time in the U.S. House,\u201d\u00a0said NFIB\u2019s New York State Director Greg Biryla. \u201cAs a longtime NFIB member and owner of her family\u2019s commercial printing and manufacturing business, she truly understands the challenges small businesses face because she lives them day in and day out.<\/p>\n

“She has been a dedicated supporter of efforts to eliminate onerous and costly regulations and played an important role in making tax reform for small businesses a reality. We are confident that Congresswoman Tenney will continue to stand up for small businesses. On behalf of our members in New York\u2019s 22nd Congressional District, we are proud to endorse Congresswoman Tenney for re-election to the United States House of Representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Executive Vice President and C.O.O of Pacemaker Steel and Piping Company, Richard Evans, said he backed Tenney because her work with President Trump has helped save the steel industry and\u00a0advocated for tax cuts that are helping small businesses finally flourish.<\/p>\n

“Many are saying that the tax reform helps large corporations and billionaires,\u201d Evans said. \u201cI can stand here and tell you that the tax reform is benefiting small businesses like ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other local small business owners were in attendance including\u00a0Greg Owens and Matthew Roberts, owners of\u00a0Sherill Manufacturing and Robert Tenney, the CEO\u00a0of\u00a0Mid York Press, Tenney’s family-owned manufacturing company that has been in business in 1948 and a longtime member of NFIB.<\/p>\n

“It is an honor to advocate for our small business community in Upstate New York and to see that our fight for middle income tax cuts have finally given our small businesses long overdue relief and the tools they need to grow,”\u00a0said\u00a0Tenney.\u00a0“Thanks to tax reform, small business confidence has hit record highs.<\/p>\n

\u201cNinety percent of Americans will see an increase in their paycheck due to the changes in withholding tables created because of tax reform and\u00a077 percent of manufacturers plan to increase hiring thanks to tax reform.<\/p>\n

“As a nearly 30 year NFIB member, I am honored to again receive the endorsement of NFIB.\u00a0I look forward to continuing to carry the torch for our small businesses in Congress.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
