Senator Marshall thanked John Gonzales with the U.S. Chamber, Angie Elliott with the Wichita Chamber, and Michael Monteferrante and the Envision team for organizing and hosting the event.
During the roundtable, Senator Marshall also highlighted Senate passage this week of his bipartisan Investing in All of America Act, legislation that will direct more private investment into rural communities, low-income areas, manufacturing, and critical technology sectors. The bill now heads to President Trump's desk to be signed into law.
In light of Tax Day this week, participants also recognized the Republican-passed Working Families Tax Cuts for families and small businesses, which began delivering relief to Kansans this tax season. Key provisions include making the small business tax deduction permanent, allowing full expensing for new investments, expanding childcare incentives, and increasing education savings flexibility for Kansas families.
Participants in the roundtable represented a broad range of Kansas industries, including manufacturing, technology, workforce development, aerospace, environmental services, hospitality, and construction.
