Small Businesses

This country was founded by entrepreneurs - by people willing to face the uncertainty and risks others found daunting.

We are the strongest nation on earth because this spirit of entrepreneurship has been a driving force through our history, leading us to discoveries which have added efficiency, comfort, and productivity to our lives.

Nebraska, now more than ever, needs entrepreneurs and innovators. When it comes to economic realities, rural communities face unique challenges.

Unfortunately many rural states have seen a ?rain drain?in recent years. As the exodus of young people continues, we lose our most vital economic asset to more populated areas.

Entrepreneurs are found in every setting. Rural America is no different. I am fortunate to serve on the House Agriculture Committee? Subcommittee on Rural Development, and I am a member of the House Economic Competitiveness Caucus, both of which allow me to take an active role in encouraging entrepreneurs and innovators.

We live in a world where the limits to technology and innovation lie only in the realm of imagination.

But knowing where to start or where to turn can prove to be daunting.

With this in mind, I have started this web page as a resource for entrepreneurs and businesses both large and small. Opportunities are there, and Nebraskans need to be able to reach for them.
