State Representative Dave Severin, a Republican from Benton, is emphasizing the importance of supporting local businesses during National Independent Retailer Month. As a small business owner himself, with 13 employees across his two establishments in Benton and Marion, Severin is encouraging residents to shop locally.

“We’re lucky to have many small business retailers operating throughout the region,” Severin stated. “Local shop owners remind us what hard work and determination can build. Spread the American spirit by supporting small businesses this month.”

This initiative aligns with broader efforts to bolster community economies by promoting local shopping habits.

The announcement was made on a state-sponsored platform that adheres to ethics regulations prohibiting campaign-related content.
