As both a combat veteran and the top Republican on Senate Small Biz, I know how critical it is to get American entrepreneurs in the game with federal contracting to ensure our nation is secure.   Glad to wrap up a great discussion highlighting this important topic. #ErnstExpo2024

Because of my legislation, the Pentagon is taking strides to educate small businesses on how to protect themselves from foreign adversaries.   I look forward to reviewing the tools to make sure they are user friendly and useful to our #SBIR startups.   nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2024/…

In Iowa, small businesses make up 99% of businesses and employ more than 50% of the workers in our state. These firms power Iowa, and it is long past time we remove barriers and equip them to support and supply the federal government. My column👇 timesrepublican.com/opinion/column…

Wonky and complex legal jargon has created unnecessary hurdles for small businesses to contract with the federal government.   Joni Ernst's ACCESS Act will clear that up and encourage entrepreneurs across the country to innovate and create jobs in their communities.

It has never been more expensive to open and run a small business as costs have exploded more than 20% in the last 3.5 years.   Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' relentless regulatory agenda and reckless spending is crushing entrepreneurs across the country.

If Kamala Harris were serious about giving small businesses a tax break, she would have done it already, instead of voting to send an army of IRS agents after them.   When people show you who they are, believe them.

No matter how she tries to twist it, Kamala Harris has served in one of the most hostile administrations to small businesses.   The cost of operating is at an all-time high because of the Biden-Harris admin’s inflationary agenda.

High prices from inflation aren’t going away.   Small businesses are being forced to operate on razor thin margins every month just to keep the doors open.

It was great to chat with an amazing Iowa small business owner and the host of the Building In a Small Town podcast!    Love to see her amplifying the voices of leaders and entrepreneurs in rural communities!   Listen to the full episode.👇   youtu.be/KxGCCJXOeFA?fe…
