Hi John,

‌

Sergio and Maria Escudero came to the United States with little more than a dream and their determination. Over time, they built Q2 Jewelry and Services, a small business that has thrived for nearly 50 years in Gahanna, Ohio.

‌

Small businesses are our economy’s backbone, and the Escudero family’s story shows how the 2017 tax cuts fueled growth — and the risks if they expire.

But success didn’t come easy: They faced the same challenges most small business owners encounter — balancing budgets, making payroll, and reinvesting in their company.

‌

That’s where the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made a difference. By lowering taxes, the TCJA gave small businesses like the Escuderos’ more financial breathing room to grow, expand, and serve their communities.

‌

Unfortunately, this progress is at risk. If Congress doesn’t act, the TCJA will expire, and small businesses across the nation will face higher tax burdens — making it harder to thrive.

Thank you for being a part of our mission to support hardworking Americans and the small businesses that keep our communities strong.

Warm regards,
