AUSTIN – Texans for Greg Abbott today announced the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business/Texas (NFIB/TX). Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott released the following statement:
Small businesses are essential to the Texas economy, and in order for the small businesses community to succeed and prosper, we must keep our taxes low, our regulations fair and our state budget under control. My ‘Working Texans’ policy plan will make it easier for small businesses to create jobs and opportunity for Texans across this state, and I look forward to working with the NFIB/TX as governor to make this vision a reality.
Will Newton, NFIB/TX Executive Director, praised Greg Abbott’s commitment to the small business community:
During his tenure as Attorney General in Texas, Greg Abbott has consistently exhibited his support for small business. His priorities to lower taxes and make regulations reasonable will drive down the cost of doing business in this state, which will show in the form of lower cost to consumers and new jobs for employees. We are pleased to support him.
