Campaigning at an Orlando restaurant supply company, U.S. Rep. Connie Mack IV accepted the endorsement Tuesday from the National Federation of Independent Businesses.
?He has a very, very strong conservative record,? said the company?s chairman Jerry Pierce, incoming chairman of the NFIB/Florida Leadership Council.
The NFIB officially is non-partisan but almost universally conservative on business and tax issues, which leads it to regularly endorse Republicans. Still, Pierce cited the organization?s scorecard, which gave Mack, as a congressman from Fort Myers,?a 100 percent support rating on NFIB-watched legislation, and incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson a 37 percent rating.
In front of an intimate gathering of about 30 people, mostly small business owners, Mack??accepted the endorsement with a vow to continue to be pro-small business.
Mack, (shown above getting a shop tour from REW President Brad Pierce) is in the middle of a six-day campaign bus tour of Central and North Florida.
?This is about small business. As you look around our country right now, people are struggling to grow their businesses, people are struggling to keep the employees they have,? Mack said. ?Small businesses are what make up our communities. They?re our neighbors. They?re our friends. They?re our families. We need to have a government that honors and respects small business owners, not trying to pass laws and regulations that hurt small business owners.?
