Graves Named Ranking Member of the House Small Business Committee
 
(Washington) U.S. Congressman Sam Graves issued the following statement on being named Ranking Member of the House Small Business Committee:
 
“I am honored that my colleagues in the Republican Conference have entrusted me to serve as Ranking Member of the Small Business Committee.  In these tough economic times, we must make sure the federal government is working with small businesses to help them succeed and create jobs here in America.  As Ranking Member of the Small Business Committee, I will fight to reduce the burdens the federal government places on small businesses.”
 
“Small businesses are facing many challenges in these tough economic times.  However, it will be small businesses that will help lead our economic recovery. My job will be to make sure that they have the help they need to succeed. Whether it is reducing an ever-growing tax burden, giving small businesses the ability to purchase affordable healthcare, stopping frivolous lawsuits, or ensuring access to capital, I will work with the members of the Small Business Committee to ensure that all of America’s small businesses have the opportunity to prosper.”
