The NFIB cited Rutigliano's 'strong commitment to small business issues.'
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) today announced its endorsement of David Rutigliano in the race to represent Trumbull's 123rd district.
"David Rutigliano impressed us with his commitment making Connecticut more competitive by cutting the size of government, reducing taxes and getting the regulatory bureaucracies out of the way," said NFIB State Director Andrew Markowski. "He's got strong experience in the private sector and he clearly understands how small businesses work and what we need to improve the state's economic climate."
Rutigliano, a Restaurateur who owns and operates the SBC Restaurant group, which includes Southport Brewing Company and the Sitting Duck Tavern in Stratford, is seeking to replace T.R. Rowe in the CT State House of Representatives. Rowe is running for Judge of Probate.
