The NFIB Georgia PAC has endorsed John Albers in the 56^th District Senate race. The political action committee is composed exclusively of NFIB members throughout the state.

“Small business is the engine that drives Georgia’s economy, and our members support the candidates who support small business,” NFIB State Director Hunter Loggins said. “We need a General Assembly that enables Georgia’s small businesses during these uncertain economic times. With a 100% NFIB Voting Record, Senator Albers has shown us time and time again that he understands the challenges facing our Main Street businesses and will strive to create an environment that allows them to grow and create jobs.”

The NFIB Georgia PAC’s endorsement is critical to Senator Albers campaign. Small business owners and their employees vote in high numbers and are known for actively recruiting friends, family members, and acquaintances to go to the polls. The PAC’s support is based on the candidates’ positions and records on small business issues. 

“The NFIB is the leading organization of commerce in Georgian communities, our small businesses. I am humbled and honored to receive the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Business “NFIB” GA PAC and to have the support of small businesses across my district and state. As a business owner and NFIB member, I will continue to champion legislative initiatives for small business in the GA Senate.” said Senator John Albers

Last evening on July 13, 2024, a deranged individual attempted to assassinate the former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump.  This heinous act is counter to everything we believe in as Americans.  As the land of the free and the home of the brave we applaud the quick response of my fellow first responders while we mourn for those who senselessly lost their lives or were injured.  I am grateful President Trump was not seriously injured and like any patriotic American I was proud as he courageously rose to his feet showing his strength and resolve.

As the Georgia Senate Chairman of Public Safety, I urge all my fellow Georgians to pray, reflect, and use this moment of history to drop the rhetoric and get back to basic human principles.  It is dangerous and wrong when political opponents become enemies and use words such as “bullseye” and “threat.”   We are a Republic, not a democracy and those who cannot understand the difference are not fit to lead or espouse their inaccurate rhetoric.  This foolish and dangerous behavior encourages others to act with terroristic intentions rather than having an honest debate. 

There will be a full investigation and the facts of this assassination attempt, brutal murder, and assault will become clearer in the days ahead.  I urge my fellow Georgians to express themselves in support of what they believe and hold most true at the ballot box this November.  Today is another day which will go down in American history with a cloud of alarm and angst, but can also rise like a mighty tide leading to a better tomorrow with one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

God Bless America,
Senator John Albers
