Meuser continued: “As chair of the Small Business Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Taxes and Access to Capital, championing pro-growth initiatives that benefit entrepreneurs is one of my top priorities. I am committed to fighting for policies that help our small business community thrive, while also working to oppose the Biden Administration’s burdensome rules, regulations, and taxes that stifle innovation and make success difficult. Small businesses are suffering from rising inflation, rising energy costs and onerous mandates under this administration. The Biden administration is out of touch with the reality business owners face and must correct course to help get our economy back on track.”
The Pulizzis added, “As third-generation owners of a label manufacturer in central Pennsylvania, we have seen the ups and downs of the industry and economy over the years. We recognize the current climate in our nation and know it is more important than ever to work together with our leaders to initiate change. Small businesses are the backbone of our country and we cannot thank Congressman Meuser enough for all the work he is doing to help small businesses thrive.”
For the past 60 years, the U.S. Small Business Administration has sponsored National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.
