(Scranton, PA) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Fed PAC has announced its endorsement of John Chrin (R-Skytop) to represent Pennsylvania’s 8th congressional district in the November election.

NFIB has identified John Chrin as a pro-small business candidate who is their preferred candidate on the the issues important to small business like affordable healthcare, reducing onerous regulations, and keeping taxes low on small businesses.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy in Northeast PA. I am proud to receive the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the voice of small business.” said Chrin.

“I understand the importance of keeping taxes low and cutting regulations so that small business owners across the country have the needed tools to continue positive growth and job creation. My opponent, Matthew Cartwright voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and supports its repeal. Hardworking families all across Northeastern Pennsylvania are benefitting from these tax cuts and cannot afford Matthew Cartwright’s tax hikes. When I talk to local small businesses, they know the dire economic consequences of hiking taxes on employers. The bottom line is that Matthew Cartwright’s tax hikes are a first class ticket to recession. I am also for lowering the cost of healthcare while Cartwright supports unaffordable healthcare policies.”
