— Congressman Don Bacon (NE-02) today announced that Congressman Steve Chabot (OH-01), Chairman of the U.S. House Small Business Committee, will join him in the Second Congressional District of Nebraska on Monday, July 31, 2017, to discuss initiatives and issues facing small businesses.
 
“Chairman Chabot has been a true advocate for America’s small business, which employs just over half of the private-sector workforce,” said Congressman Bacon. “We are looking forward to introducing the Chairman to several small business owners, future entrepreneurs, and others. The dialogue will focus on helping small start-ups and innovative initiatives to begin, thrive, and grow.”
 
This visit by Chairman Chabot provides an opportunity for Nebraskans to share their voice on solutions that empower entrepreneurs and grow the economy. Discussions and meetings will focus on a broader discussion of federal trade policies, access to capital, tax reform and regulatory barriers.
