There is no doubt that small businesses drive the American economy. Across the United States, small businesses create about two out of every three new jobs. Since 1963, every President has designated this week National Small Business Week to celebrate these economic engines and encourage policies that allow them to thrive. When our local small businesses succeed, they create opportunity, invigorate communities, and preserve the district character of our local economy. That is why I have committed to visit 100 small businesses across my district this year and every year, to better appreciate the needs of local small businesses and help them create good-paying jobs in our community. During my visits, I have heard common themes: a Tax Code that is too complex, burdensome one-size-fits-all regulations from Washington, and lawmakers too focused on partisan bickering rather than on working together to grow our economy. As we turn our attention to small businesses this week, let's put these concerns at the forefront and get to work on solutions. ____________________

You either follow the law or you change the law. You can't violate the law. That's not an option.
