Leading advocacy group for small businesses, NFIB, has endorsed State Representative Martin Foncello.

Brookfield, Conn. - A leading advocacy group for small businesses has endorsed State Representative Martin Foncello. In its endorsement of Foncello on Monday, the Connecticut-based political action committee for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) signaled to its members that he should be reelected to the legislature to help promote Connecticut’s continued economic recovery.

“I have been committed to the needs of ‘Main Street’ small businesses and their employees in Connecticut and will continue to vote for pro-business legislation. Small businesses are the backbone of every community and the General Assembly should be making it easier to retain and grow jobs in Connecticut,” said Rep. Foncello, who represents the 107th House District serving residents of Brookfield, Bethel, and Newtown.

NFIB is the leading small-business association in the nation with thousands of members in Connecticut representing a cross-section of the state's economy.
