ROBERT HURT: “It seems to me that it is incumbent on all of us to try to figure out how to help the most in need.”

Every one of the measures we are considering today is designed to achieve that goal, whether that means establishing an office for small business capital formation, reducing the size of the administrative state or helping startups market…

I think every member of this committee can agree that with millions of Americans out of work, our top focus in Congress should be enacting policies to help spur job creation throughout our country.

When I travel across Virginia's 5th District, I continue to hear from my constituents that Washington is making it harder, not easier, for them to do business.

If enacted, this legislation would help startups by allowing them to better market their securities and to take part in economic development events like demo days.
