The event gave small business owners the opportunity to hear directly from members of Congress and speak on critical issues such as repealing the Corporate Transparency Act and saving the 20% Small Business Deduction, which is set to expire in 2025.

Thompson said, “I want to thank everyone on Capitol Hill for taking the time to meet with us and discuss the issues that matter most to North Carolina’s small businesses. I also want to thank our members for taking time away from their businesses and coming to Washington for this important event. Their work will have an impact on small businesses across the state and across the country.”
