Who We Are … • Trust In Small Business (TISB) is a member-driven PAC with a proven track record of helping to elect ‘Champions’ of small business in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. • TISB members are small business owners who are dedicated to preserving free enterprise. • TISB members know they’re the engine that drives our economy by creating jobs and wealth that benefit our country. 2 January 2012

  4. Who Receives Our Coveted Endorsement … • Before receiving our coveted endorsement and/or support, each candidate is thoroughly vetted and interviewed by TISB to determine if they qualify. • To receive an “A” rating a candidate must be committed to lowering taxes, decreasing government spending and eliminating or reducing counter-productive government mandates. • Candidate is an incumbent in jeopardy, a challenger with a vulnerable opponent or in an open seat contest. • Finally, candidate is in a race where TISB can make a difference.
