As a former small business owner, Congressman Knollenberg has a firsthand understanding of the impact small businesses have on our country. The hard work and dedication embodied by small business owners is part of what defines the American Dream. The National Federation of Independent Business has consistently honored Congressman Knollenberg with their most prestigious award for his legislative advocacy.
From fighting against frivolous lawsuits to working to reduce the cost of health care to streamlining regulatory red tape and holding the line on taxes, Oakland County small business owners have no greater friend in Congress than Joe Knollenberg.
In the new Congress, Knollenberg is promoting a bill to provide tax credits to small businesses that create new jobs in Oakland County and around the country. As big business continues to contract and shed workers, small business will become a more vital part of our economy and the federal government needs to get out of the way so they can grow and become a stronger economic force in America.
