In addition, discussions will also focus on the tax issues surrounding Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, expiring at the end of 2025. The bipartisan Congressional Family Business Caucus now has 50 House members, and often features several of the four co-chairs, which are Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Rep. Claudia Tenney’s (R-NY), and Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX).
