Make Your Voice Count: Share How Tax Policies Impact Your Family Business
The bi-partisan Congressional Family Business Caucus saw its 49th member sign on to its mission to listen and learn from America’s largest private employer, family businesses.
With the Congressional Family Business Caucus approaching a milestone of 50 members, the next regular Caucus meeting is scheduled for Sept. 18 on Capitol Hill. The topic of the next Caucus meeting is “Enterprise Structure.”
The bipartisan Caucus has four co-chairs: Representatives Jodey Arrington (R-TX), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Brad Schneider (D-IL), and Henry Cuellar (D-TX). It’s the first congressional Caucus focused solely on the critical issues facing generationally-owned family businesses of all sizes and industries across the United States, including trucking companies, the majority of which are family owned and operated.
The Congressional Caucus membership is open to all members of Congress seeking to learn more about generational owned family business issues, which affect 59 percent of the nation’s private workforce, or 83.3 million workers. There are 32.4 million family businesses in the U.S, representing $7.7 trillion in annual GDP.
