Rep. Moore follows Rep. David Min<\/a>\u2019s (D-CA) signing on to the growing list of lawmakers joining the Caucus.<\/p>\n The Caucus is co-chaired by Rep. Lou Correa<\/a> (D-CA) and Rep. Claudia Tenney<\/a> (R-NY) and is now comprised of 22 Democrats and 29 Republicans. The Caucus, which held three meetings in 2026, is organized by Family Enterprise USA, a bipartisan not-for-profit that advocates for family-owned businesses across the country.<\/p>\n Last month, the Caucus held its last meeting of the 119th<\/sup> Congress<\/a> with the themes: \u201cThe Price of Prosperity\u201d and \u201cFamily Business Strategies for Battling All Taxes on Success.”<\/p>\n The meeting, held in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, heard from two house members, Rep. David Kustoff<\/a> (R-TN) and Rep. Jimmy Panetta<\/a> (D-CA), who shared their overview of the upcoming midterms and how they may affect family-owned businesses.<\/p>\n The Congressional Family Business Caucus<\/a> was created to help lawmakers understand the complex issues facing family-owned businesses, to educate them on critical legislation affecting family business growth, and to support the millions of family-owned businesses that serve as the cornerstone of local economies nationwide.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to see Representative Tim Moore join this important forum advocating for hardworking, family-owned businesses,\u201d said Tim Schultz, Chief Executive Officer, Family Enterprise USA and Family Enterprise USA Action. \u201cIt\u2019s important that our lawmakers understand what a powerful economic engine family-owned businesses are for our country, and this Caucus helps them craft policies that keep family businesses strong and growing,\u201d said Schultz.<\/p>\n America\u2019s family businesses are the largest private employers in the country, accounting for 83.3 million jobs in some 32 million family businesses across the country, according to research. These businesses contribute $7.7 trillion annually to U.S. gross domestic product.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_style=”dotted” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Become a member text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” link_option_url=”https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/donate-2\/” global_module=”5822″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we’re asking you to consider becoming a member.<\/p>\n The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to family owned businesses<\/a> and protecting a lifetime of savings<\/a> has never been greater.
