“On behalf of Nebraska small businesses, we are proud to endorse a slate of candidates who have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to advancing small business interests,” said Ryan McIntosh, NFIB Nebraska State Director. “The candidates we endorsed have a deep understanding of the small business landscape and will be reliable advocates for pro-Main Street policies in Congress. We look forward to working with these leaders to create an environment where independent businesses can continue to grow and create jobs.” “Nebraska small businesses are the foundation of the state’s economy,” said Louis Bertolotti, NFIB Political Director. “Electing legislators who prioritize independent businesses will allow owners to continue to operate and grow. These candidates have pledged to build on last year’s great win for Main Street: permanency for the 20% Small Business Deduction. We look forward to working with these pro-small business leaders in Washington.”

As Vice President of the Omaha City Council, Brinker Harding balanced the city budget every year, lowered the property-tax levy three times, and — rather than defund the police — delivered officers a record pay raise as violent crime fell to 40-year lows.

Endorsed by President Donald J. Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, Harding is a rock-solid America First conservative who will stand with the American Jewish community and the State of Israel in Congress.

Harding's opponent, Denise Powell, told a Nebraska Democratic forum that she would not accept support from any pro-Israel group — a position so egregious that Democratic Majority for Israel pulled its planned spending out of the race.
