“The NFIB's political action committee has endorsed a slate of candidates for election to Congress who have pledged to build on the 20% Small Business Deduction.”
Verdict
✅TrueConfidence
Solid evidence with some gaps or secondary sources.
What We Found
The NFIB's political action committee (FedPAC) has explicitly stated in multiple press releases that it is endorsing slates of candidates for Congress who have pledged to support the 20% Small Business Deduction.
Evidence
The claim made by Louis Bertolotti, NFIB Political Director, is supported by official press releases issued by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). Specifically, in a September 8, 2026, press release regarding endorsements in Virginia, Bertolotti stated that the endorsed candidates 'have pledged to build on last year’s great win for Main Street: permanency of the 20% Small Business Deduction.' Similarly, in a September 17, 2026, press release regarding Montana, the organization noted that endorsed candidates 'have pledged to prioritize policies that will help independent businesses continue to operate on a level playing field' following the permanency of the deduction. The NFIB has consistently advocated for this tax provision, and their political action committee (FedPAC) uses these policy commitments as a criterion for their endorsements.
What's Missing or Misleading
None. The claim accurately reflects the stated policy positions and endorsement criteria of the NFIB's political action committee as documented in their official communications.
