“Mark Green has been an exceptional supporter of small businesses in Tennessee, “ said NFIB’s Tennessee State Director Jim Brown. “Over the years, he has proven himself to be a steady advocate for small business in the Senate Commerce Committee. He is a recipient of the prestigious NFIB Guardian of Small Business Award and holds a 100 percent voting record on the issues that matter to small businesses in our state. As a former small business owner, he has a deep understanding of the challenges that our members face daily. On behalf of our members in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, we are proud to endorse him for election to the United States House of Representatives.”

NFIB joins two other prominent national grassroots organizations in endorsing Dr. Green for Congress in recent weeks: the NRA and National Right to Life. Green has also previously received endorsements from the Club for Growth, FRC Action, Combat Veterans for Congress, FreedomWorks, House Freedom Fund, Campaign for Working Families, and GOPAC.

“As a small business owner myself, I know first hand that small businesses are the economic engine of America,” stated Green. “I’ve fought for less regulations and lower taxes my entire career in the State Senate. We need to unleash small businesses and let them innovate, invest, and hire more people. I look forward to continuing to be their champion in Congress.”
