RECOGNIZING HARD WORKERS DRIVING OUR ECONOMY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 77 (Thursday, May 8, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 77 (Thursday, May 8, 2025)] [House] [Page H1924] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING HARD WORKERS DRIVING OUR ECONOMY (Mrs. HOUCHIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. HOUCHIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in celebration of National Small Business Week, a time to recognize the hardworking men and women who are the engines of our economy. As a former small business owner myself, I know the long hours, risks, and deep sense of responsibility that come with signing both sides of a paycheck. Small businesses are more than storefronts. They are job creators, community anchors, and the heart of America. In Indiana's Ninth District, small businesses like Lincks Clothing and Shoes, Brownstown Electric, and Lischkge Motors are strengthening our communities one investment, one hire, and one customer at a time. That is why I am committed to cutting government red tape, lowering taxes, and fighting for progrowth policies that empower our entrepreneurs to thrive, not just survive. Madam Speaker, I thank every small business owner out there for all they do. This week and every week, I am here for them. ____________________
