NFIB announces support for five Minnesota candidates

SAINT PAUL, Minn. (Sept. 9, 2026) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, endorsed the following candidates for election to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Minnesota:

  • Congressman Brad Finstad (MN-01)
  • Eric Pratt (MN-02)
  • Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06)
  • Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach (MN-07)
  • Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08)

“The candidates we endorsed have a deep understanding of the issues that matter most to Minnesota small business owners,” said Jon Boesche, NFIB Minnesota State Director. “These individuals are reliable advocates for pro-Main Street policies, and they understand what Minnesota small business owners mean to America’s economy. We look forward to working with them to create an environment where independent businesses can continue to grow and create jobs.”

“On behalf of Minnesota small businesses, we are proud to endorse a slate of candidates who have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to advancing small business interests,” said Louis Bertolotti, NFIB Political Director. “Electing legislators who prioritize independent businesses will allow owners to continue to operate and grow their businesses. These candidates have pledged to build on last year’s great win for Main Street: permanency for the 20% Small Business Deduction. We look forward to continuing to work with these pro-business leaders.”

The endorsement is issued from NFIB FedPAC, NFIB’s political action committee. NFIB FedPAC is funded by voluntary contributions by NFIB members over and above their membership dues. Decisions made by the NFIB FedPAC are managed by a member-driven grassroots evaluation.
