Small Business Newsletter
Thank you for your interest my new Small Business Quarterly newsletter and for your hard work in running your business.
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy and the epicenter of business innovation. That’s what makes our country unique, and I’m proud to represent a district where small businesses dominate the landscape.
This quarterly newsletter has two major goals: 1. Establish a dialogue between us, so I can make informed decisions when I vote for you and so I can inform you about proposed small business laws and regulations. 2. Provide the opportunity for in-person meetings later this year on small business issues.
My job is nothing without input from you, and our economy is nothing without small business. Please help spread the word about this newsletter and please take a moment to subscribe.
Respectfully,
Col. Paul Cook (ret.)
Member of Congress
