WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 31, 2022) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) released the following statement on behalf of Vice President of Federal Government Relations Kevin Kuhlman following President Biden’s announced plans attempting to address the increase in gas prices:

“The recent increase in gas prices has added another burden for small businesses as they continue to face rising inflation, an ongoing worker shortage, and continued supply chain disruptions. Small businesses throughout the country rely on gas as a crucial component of operating and the recent hikes in fuel costs have created massive uncertainty. The small business recovery is fragile and relief in gas prices will be welcomed by Main Street.”
