EUGENE, Oregon (August 27, 2026) - The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Fed PAC, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, today announced its endorsement of Monique DeSpain, the Republican candidate for Oregon’s 4th Congressional District, marking the second consecutive election cycle NFIB Fed PAC has backed her campaign.
The endorsement, issued through NFIB’s Fed PAC, follows the organization’s member-driven evaluation process and reflects NFIB’s assessment that DeSpain will be a reliable ally for small business owners in Congress.
“Monique DeSpain is a political outsider, a veteran, and an advocate for small businesses. She supports reducing regulatory burdens on Main Street and getting government out of the way so that Oregonians can own, operate, and grow their businesses. She will make for a great member of Congress, and we are proud to stand behind her once again in this election cycle,” said Anthony Smith, NFIB Oregon State Director
DeSpain, a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and attorney, said the renewed endorsement reflects her ongoing commitment to the small business owners who are the backbone of Oregon’s economy.
“Small business owners in this district are being squeezed from every direction from rising costs, mounting regulations, and taxes that make it harder to hire and harder to grow, reward loyal employees, and hire additional people,” DeSpain said. “I’m honored to have NFIB’s support again this cycle. I’ve spent this campaign listening to employers across our district, and I’m going to keep fighting in Congress to get the government out of their way so they can do what they do best: create jobs and opportunity for Oregon families.”
NFIB is the nation’s leading small business advocacy association, representing small and independent businesses in Washington, D.C., and all 50 state capitals. NFIB’s FedPAC endorsements are funded through voluntary member contributions separate from membership dues.
