Ahead of Small Business Saturday, Dan Murray, the State Director for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), urged Kansans to support local businesses not only during the holiday season but throughout the year. In a conversation with KSNT in Topeka, Murray emphasized the importance of small businesses to the economy.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy,” Murray stated. “It’s very important for us to get out during the holidays and year-round to support small business owners and small business retailers to keep them viable and alive, and in our communities doing what they do best.”

Murray also contributed an op-ed to The Emporia Gazette where he highlighted how shopping at small businesses positively impacts local economies. He noted: “When we shop small, we’re helping the family-run businesses that sponsor our kid’s sports teams, support our schools, and donate to charities. We’re supporting our neighbors who employ hardworking Kansans. And we’re reaffirming our commitment to our community.”

For those interested in further insights from Murray, a full interview is available on KSNT's platform.
