The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) has endorsed Jimmy Patronis for election to the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Florida’s 1st Congressional District. The endorsement comes from NFIB FedPAC, the political action committee of the organization.

Bill Herrle, NFIB Florida Executive Director, expressed support for Patronis, stating, “Jimmy Patronis has shown that he will be a reliable advocate for small businesses in Congress.” Herrle highlighted Patronis's accessibility to NFIB members and his consistent backing of pro-small business policies.

Sharon Sussin, NFIB Senior National Political Director, noted Patronis's background in a family business and his understanding of the challenges faced by small business owners. She said, “He made clear that he will stand up for Main Street priorities such as reducing burdensome regulations and making tax relief for small businesses permanent.”

The decision by NFIB FedPAC is driven by member evaluations and funded through voluntary contributions beyond regular membership dues.
