Central Washington lawmaker a pivotal vote on the Small Business Deduction

NFIB Washington State Director Patrick Connor took to the editorial pages of the Tri-City Herald to thank Congressman Dan Newhouse for preventing the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction from expiring at the end of this year.

“The past few years have been tough for Washington small businesses. Inflation, labor shortages, and supply chain issues have all conspired to hit Main Street from every angle. But if you ask a small business owner how they’re feeling right now, they’re much more likely to say they’re optimistic again,” wrote Connor in a guest editorial, WA Rep. Dan Newhouse helped avert crisis for WA small businesses.

“They have an excellent reason for this newfound hope. Rep. Dan Newhouse just freed them from an enormous federal tax hike. Not only that, he gave them permanent tax relief, which is key to boosting our communities.”
