The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has announced its endorsement of Representative Marc Molinaro for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives. Molinaro is seeking to continue representing New York’s 19th Congressional District.

Ashley Ranslow, NFIB New York State Director, expressed strong support for Molinaro's candidacy. "Representative Molinaro is a solid small business advocate in Congress," she stated. She highlighted his role as a member of the U.S. House Committee on Small Business and his understanding of the challenges faced by businesses in Upstate New York. Ranslow noted that Molinaro has maintained a 100% NFIB voting record and co-sponsored the Main Street Tax Certainty Act aimed at preserving the Small Business Deduction.

Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director, also voiced support for Molinaro's re-election bid. "We are pleased to endorse Representative Molinaro for re-election today," she said, acknowledging his reliability as an advocate for New York’s small businesses.

The endorsement was issued by NFIB FedPAC, the organization's political action committee. This committee is funded through voluntary contributions from NFIB members beyond their membership dues and operates under a grassroots evaluation process driven by its members.
