Be Engaged. Be Heard.
The 2020 election is in full swing, good, bad and ugly. The airwaves are dominated by campaign ads telling you why you should vote for a particular candidate—or in many cases, why you should NOT vote for his or her opponent. NSBA is here to help. Below, you can download a variety of resources designed to help you navigate the upcoming elections and engage with lawmakers over the coming months.
Your voice matters.

NSBA has developed more than 35 unique one-page Issue Briefs on a variety of topics. These briefs outline the issue, how it impacts small business and the solution NSBA is calling for.
