The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) announced on March 26 its endorsement of Representative Chuck Edwards for re-election to the United States House of Representatives, representing North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District.

The endorsement highlights the importance that small business owners place on having advocates in Congress who understand their challenges and priorities. The NFIB is a prominent organization representing small businesses across the country.

Gregg Thompson, NFIB North Carolina State Director, said, “As someone who runs a small business himself, Rep. Edwards has a deep understanding of the challenges that Main Street faces. He has been a reliable small business advocate, playing a crucial role in making the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent. We are confident that Rep. Edwards will continue fighting for North Carolina small business owners in Washington.”

Louis Bertolotti, NFIB Acting Political Director, also spoke about Edwards’ record: “Rep. Edwards has been a trusted small business ally during his time in Washington. He consistently votes for pro-small business policies and maintains a 100% NFIB Voting Record in Congress. We are pleased to endorse Rep. Edwards for re-election and we look forward to continuing to work with him.”

The endorsement comes from NFIB FedPAC, which is funded by voluntary contributions from members beyond their regular dues and is managed through grassroots evaluation by members.

Observers will be watching how this support may influence voters as the election approaches.
