Congressman Fitzgerald Selected to Serve on House Small Business Committee

Statement

Today, Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) was selected to serve on the House Small Business Committee, which has jurisdiction over legislative matters that impact America's small businesses. Following his appointment, Congressman Fitzgerald released the following statement:

"For many years, I ran Independent Publishing in Juneau, Wisconsin. I know firsthand the determination, spirit, and time that goes into running a small business," said Congressman Fitzgerald. "The pandemic has ushered in unprecedented challenges for countless businesses over the last year. Especially during this difficult time, the government should be a resource, not a burden. I am excited to join the Small Business Committee, and I am hopeful that my colleagues and I will pass meaningful legislation to help restore life to our economy and small business owners."

"Small businesses are the backbone of this great nation, and now more than ever, our hardworking men and women must be granted the opportunity to open their doors and contribute to the economy. I am excited to welcome Congressman Fitzgerald as a recommended new member of the House Committee on Small Business as I know he will be essential in defending Main Street from extensive regulations while ensuring responsible government assistance for our nation's small businesses. As Lead Republican, I look forward to working alongside all of the members on this committee and fighting for America's small businesses, entrepreneurs, and innovators," said Ranking Member Blaine Luetkemeyer.
