NFIB Goes to Bat for Steve Southerland Against Gwen Graham

Facing a challenge from Democratic challenger Gwen Graham, U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland is getting help from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). On Tuesday, the NFIB unveiled an online election site to help Southerland and began a digital ad campaign on his behalf.

?Increasing federal regulations, rising health-care costs, and higher taxes streaming out of Washington continue to punish small businesses in Florida,"? said Lisa Goeas, a vice president of the NFIB. ?We need candidates like Steve Southerland in Congress, who understand the struggles of small businesses and will stand up and fight for policies that allow Main Street to grow and prosper.?
