Jobs and Energy Bills Would Help Small Business
WASHINGTON, D.C., September 16, 2014 — National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Vice President of Public Policy Amanda Austin made the following statement in advance of this week’s expected vote on H.R. 4, the Jobs for America Act and H.R. 2, the American Energy Solutions for Lower Costs and More American Jobs Act:
“Small businesses have been struggling to rebound following the recession,” said Austin. “Between rising health care costs, mounting red tape, and increases to energy prices – entrepreneurs are feeling the pinch at every level. The numerous provisions presented in the Jobs for America Act and the American Energy Solutions for Lower Costs and More American Jobs Act would help alleviate this burden and go a long way to making sure Main Street remains vibrant. We urge the House of Representatives to act on these important bills and encourage the Senate to take up and pass them as well.”
NFIB will be on Capitol Hill Wednesday and Thursday this week to present Guardian of Small Business Awards to members of Congress that served as a true champion of small business, supporting the votes that matter in the 113th Congress. Included in H.R. 4 and H.R. 2, are several of NFIB’s Key Votes for the 113th Congress, including H.R. 2575, H.R. 2804, H.R. 4457, H.R. 3, and H.R. 2728.
In all, NFIB will present Guardian awards to 45 Senators and 233 Representatives who stood up for small business. Click here for How Congress Voted for the 113th Congress.
