NFIB Endorses Sen. Mike Rounds and Attorney General Marty Jackley for Election to Congress to Represent South Dakota
Rounds and Jackley have demonstrated strong support for small businesses
PIERRE, S.D. (Sept. 25, 2026) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, endorsed Sen. Mike Rounds for reelection to the U.S. Senate and Attorney General Marty Jackley (SD-At Large) for election to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent South Dakota.
“Senator Rounds and Attorney General Jackley are both staunch advocates for Main Street,” said Tim Nungesser, NFIB Regional Director. “South Dakota small businesses are the foundation of the state’s economy, and it is important to have strong leaders to represent them in Congress. We look forward to working with Senator Rounds and Attorney General Jackley to ensure that independent businesses in our state can continue to grow and create jobs.”
“We are proud to endorse Senator Rounds and Attorney General Jackley to represent South Dakota in Congress,” said Louis Bertolotti, NFIB Political Director. “They have each demonstrated a steadfast commitment to advancing small business interests, and they understand the issues that matter most to South Dakota owners. We look forward to working with them to build on last year’s great win of making the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent.”
The endorsement is issued from NFIB FedPAC, NFIB’s political action committee. NFIB FedPAC is funded by voluntary contributions by NFIB members over and above their membership dues. Decisions made by the NFIB FedPAC are managed by a member-driven grassroots evaluation.

Excuse me, please, but may I ask if, when accosting business people in the midst of their work day, how much care do your commission based salesmen take to distinguish between “membership dues” and PAC contributions? And does NFIB bother to send out the letters that detail how much of the “dues’ (say nothing about identifying them from PAC contributions) are tax dedc
deductible?
The answer is zero. The pac is completely separate and you have to donate directly to the pac.
I like Mike. I like Marty. Mike was a great governor of this state, all told, and Marty helped him a lot.
Mike, and others like Doug Burgum of ND, and many in the US House and Senate GOP majorities came from strong executive backgrounds, and all could be a capable, even an excellent historic President of the United States.
And ALL have sat silently by while President Trump has engaged in non-constitutional and patently illegal actions to enrich himself and his billionaire friends. To transfer wealth upward, to cause unending war to leverage stock prices, to break promises made to win the office, to cause pockets of worsening ruin around the country, to trash our standing among nations. Worse, some like Burgum have descended to the most craven depth, giving their good reputation over to the stupidest lies from Trump, like the reflecting pool b.s. Come on.
I say this as a 50-year registered Republican, I do not care what crony capitalist group endorses this gross miscarriage of justice, I will not endure any more of it. Any thinking Republican who does not vote Democrat to remove power from this current GOP leadership, is a betrayer to the country and his own family’s future. Any thinking Republican who votes for the people giving Trump power, is dooming us all to be locked down in a high tech prison guarded by his loyal hothead ICE agents. He’s building it all around us.
I wish it was TDS. I wish it was just TDS that we could laugh at and ignore. But no. There’s too much at stake to ignore the evidence all around us.
You should make a post about the article that just came out about how Mike Rounds came in FIRST PLACE in spending taxpayer dollars on his travel expenses in 2025 thru March 2026 — $626k on PRIVATE CHARTERED FLIGHTS, and $320k on other travel. Absolutely wild. This man needs to get retired.
