Congressman Meuser at House Committe on Small Business Hearing

In today’s House Committee on Small Business hearing, we heard directly from veteran entrepreneurs and small business owners on how we can ensure that they have the tools and resources necessary to thrive. PA-09 is home to more than 45,000 veterans, many of whom own a small business, and they deserve stronger transition support, reduced burdensome regulations, and assured access to capital and loans. Programs like TAP are supposed to prepare service members for civilian life, yet as we heard today, the system still has a way to go. SBA, the VA, and DOL must work hand-in-hand to modernize these programs and deliver the support our veterans deserve.
