Greetings!

 

And just like that, summer is closing out, school has started, and fall is almost here! We had a great last few weeks and hope you did too. The Congressman enjoyed visiting small businesses and community organizations across the district this summer. After the August work period away from Washington, he is ready to be back on Capitol Hill to make sure local business needs are heard. 

 

As always, we hope this quarterly update, resources, and opportunities are helpful to you!
