From boosting start-up entrepreneurs to developing our workforce, there is tremendous opportunity for lawmakers to come together and support small businesses and the hardworking Missourians they employ.

“A recent NFIB survey of small business owners found that inflation is the single most important problem in operating their business. The worker shortage is showing no signs of abating, as many of our job creators can’t fill open positions. From boosting start-up entrepreneurs to developing our workforce, there are tremendous opportunities for lawmakers to come together and support small businesses and the hardworking Missourians they employ.

“We will continue to work with the Governor, his cabinet members, and the legislature to adopt policies that promote small business owners’ interests.”
