Dear NFIB Member:

November 4, 2014 is an important day for all small-business owners in Ohio. YOU will have a critical role in determining if our state will

continue the economic recovery we have been experiencing these past four years, or potentially slide back into an era of higher taxes,

more burdensome regulations and a state government that doesn’t understand the fundamental importance of living within its means.

Our involvement in each race is determined by our 25,000 members across Ohio. YOU serve as an integral part of our

endorsement process. In deciding whether to endorse a candidate for a public office, factors such as the candidate’s NFIB/Ohio

Voting Record, responses to candidate questionnaires, and personal interviews with your fellow members with candidates

are all taken into consideration.

In 2014 NFIB/Ohio will play a significant part in the election of the governor, attorney general, members of the Ohio

Congressional delegation, two associate justices to the Ohio Supreme Court, and many of our state senators and

representatives. This guide that you hold in your hands highlights NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust-endorsed pro-business candidates.

Our election guide can be a powerful tool for YOU to help share your influence with others.

The race for Ohio Governor is front and center, setting the tone in Ohio for the next four years. NFIB is endorsing JOHN

KASICH for re-election as the best pro-small business candidate in the race for Ohio Governor. The Ohio Attorney General

also plays a significant role in making Ohio business friendly, and NFIB endorses MIKE DEWINE for re-election to this post.

It is also important that we preserve an Ohio Supreme Court that interprets the law rather than attempts to legislate from the

bench. To maintain stability in our legal system, the NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust has endorsed JUSTICE SHARON KENNEDY and

JUSTICE JUDITH FRENCH to retain their seats on the Ohio Supreme Court as associate justices.

Dozens of fellow NFIB members throughout the state have made tremendous sacrifices to run for office, while numerous

others have volunteered their time, energy and resources to campaigns and candidates. This year, we are asking YOU to join in

and TAKE ACTION! Please vote on or before November 4th and help shape the political landscape of our state and nation.

Thank you for supporting NFIB and our endorsed candidates.

Sincerely,

Roger R. Geiger, Vice President/Executive Director

Separate from the dues dollars required for NFIB membership, the NFIB/Ohio Save America’s Free Enterprise Trust

(SAFE Trust) raises funds through contributions from members for use in political campaigns in order to support

pro-small business candidates.

These dollars are spent supporting candidates that have been through a lengthy member-driven process that

thoroughly reviews candidates’ voting records where applicable, stated positions and understanding of small-business

issues before an endorsement is considered and issued.

Additionally, where voting records are not available, candidates must complete a questionnaire related to their stance

on small-business issues and personally participate in an interview process with fellow dues paying members of the

NFIB/Ohio SAFE Trust committee to seek our endorsement for election.

As we advocate in Ohio and Washington, DC on behalf of our over 25,000 members, it is important to have elected

officials that understand the unique concerns of small-business owners and will take the time to listen to those

concerns. Elections matter to our members, that is why we get so heavily involved in them and why our process is so

detailed and member driven.

NFIB/Ohio is supporting these candidates listed in this election guide so they can provide the leadership in Ohio and

Washington, DC necessary to keep Ohio’s job-creating machine, small business, running.

DEWINE Ohio small-business owners appreciate the fact that Attorney General Mike DeWine is continuing to make Ohio a fair place to operate their businesses. Given his family’s small business background he understands the need to establish an environment in which they can grow their companies and create jobs, helping to drive our economy forward.
