As I travel across my district, I am reminded by my constituents again and again that the number one concern that they face is jobs and the economy.

I think that my constituents, if they were hearing what we are hearing today, would be bewildered.
Last Congress, this subcommittee led the charge to pass the JOBS Act to decrease burdensome regulations and provide incentives for emerging growth companies to access capital and public markets.
I believe this hearing is an important opportunity to allow Members to explore how it is that our equity markets have evolved since that time and potentially where they are headed in the future.
Even with those successes, I continue to hear from companies--both public and private--in my district about the impacts of outdated and burdensome regulations on their ability to access capital.
