SACRAMENTO, Calif., October 15, 2008 – The National Federation of Independent
Business/California today announced its endorsement of Audra Strickland in California Assembly District
37.

“Audra Strickland knows the issues that small business owners face on a daily basis,” said John Kabateck, NFIB/CA Executive Director. “She supports NFIB’s positions on numerous business issues, including healthcare reform, and will reliably represent the interests of small business in the Capitol. She will be a positive voice in support of small business in the legislature.”

NFIB’s endorsement is critical to these candidates.
