FL Rep. Ross Spano visits small businesses, pledges to be a strong voice for Florida small businesses.
FL Rep. Ross Spano visited eight small businesses last month as part of his Small Business Tour, pledging to be a strong voice for Florida small businesses.
Spano met with Courtney Paat Insurance Agency (Plant City), Minuteman Press (Plant City), Patriot Arms (Brandon), Bills Prescription Center (Brandon), Pronesis Technology (Brandon), Electric Today (Brandon), Lupton’s BBQ (Temple Terrace), and M and B Products (Temple Terrace).
“These businesses face many of the same struggles I faced when I started my own small business 13 years ago,” said Spano. “Cutting through the morass of government red tape can be a daunting process, especially on top of the time and energy it takes for businesses to keep the lights on and their employees paid.
He also pointed out that the vast majority of all Florida companies are small businesses.
“Small businesses are the backbone of Florida’s economy, constituting 99.8% of all businesses in the state and employing over 3.4 million Floridians,” said Spano. “In the 15th Congressional District alone, we have over 12,000 small businesses employing over 100,000 of our neighbors, an average of eight people each.”
NFIB endorsed Spano in the 2018 congressional elections.
