WAKEFIELD – State Senate Candidate and current Wakefield Town Councilor Ed Dombroski today announced that the National Federation of Independent Business for Massachusetts has endorsed his candidacy for the state Senate seat representing the Fifth Middlesex District, which includes the communities of Malden, Melrose, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, and Winchester.
“I am honored to receive NFIB’s endorsement,” Dombroski said. “As a small business owner myself, I understand firsthand the challenges that small businesses face – especially in responding to high inflation and soaring overhead costs. I am very pleased that NFIB saw my commitment to being a strong, tireless advocate for small businesses on Beacon Hill.”
NFIB is the nation’s leading small-business advocacy association, with offices in Washington, D.C. and all 50 state capitals. Founded in 1943 as a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, NFIB gives small- and independent-business owners a voice in shaping the public policy issues that affect their business. NFIB’s powerful network of grassroots activists sends their views directly to state and federal lawmakers though their unique member-only ballot, thus playing a critical role in supporting America’s free enterprise system.

“The time has come for Beacon Hill to step up and provide crucial support to the small business community,” Dombroski continued. “I will work every day to make sure the Fifth Middlesex District is the best place to run a small business in Massachusetts.” Dombroski has called for immediate and targeted tax relief to help ease the increasing burdens on small businesses, most still recovering from the effects of the pandemic.
“My opponent has consistently made it harder for small businesses to operate, voting against decreasing fees on small businesses and championing an 80% tax increase that will impact many small business owners. We deserve a change, and I pledge to be a voice for small businesses on Beacon Hill and to support policies that encourage entrepreneurs and make running a small business easier and less costly.”
