NFIB Endorses Representative Mike Hager

RUTHERFORDTON, NC – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), North Carolina’s

leading small-business association, has endorsed Representative Mike Hager (R-Rutherford) for the 2014

election in NC House District 112. “Rep. Mike Hager clearly understands the challenges facing North

Carolina’s small, family businesses and is the clear choice in this year’s election,” said Gregg Thompson,

state director of NFIB/North Carolina. “Our members believe Rep. Mike Hager will take a fiscally

responsible approach to managing state government and support legislation that helps our small businesses

grow and create jobs and puts the state back on the pathway to success.”

“As a small business owner, I know the needs of small businesses. It is important to protect and support

small business owners to allow them the opportunity to grow and create jobs,” said Rep. Hager. “The NFIB

endorsement is a true honor. We need to lower the regulations on our small business owners, for example

with regulatory reform and tax reform which will help business prosper and will help improve our

economy.”
