Small Business
Upstate New York small business owners are the main drivers of our local economy. As your Congressman, it is important to ensure that Washington is doing what it should to provide every opportunity for our community entrepreneurs to create jobs right here at home. Please find below a list of news releases and local articles regarding the legislation I have introduced and the votes I have cast to foster an environment where small businesses can continue to grow and create more jobs.
