Small Business Owners Across America Share How House Republicans Are Delivering Tax Relief with Working Families Tax Cuts

"Across America, hardworking families and small businesses are seeing the results of policies that actually put them first," Chairwoman Lisa McClain said. "We passed tax relief that helps small business owners invest with confidence and put more of their hard-earned money where it belongs: in their businesses, employees, and communities. When Democrats voted against tax relief, Republicans took action and delivered real support to everyday Americans across this country."

As families and employers feel the effects of lower taxes and pro-growth reforms, small business owners are sharing firsthand how Republican policies are making a tangible difference on Main Streets across America:

Joe Kimray, owner of B&W Hardware in Wake Forest, NC said: "The Working Families Tax Cuts has made a real difference. This January, our sales were up 18% compared to last year, which tells me people have a little more breathing room and they're spending it right here in our community. On the business side, the return of 100% bonus depreciation helped us invest back into the store. We recently raised wages because when our business does well, we want our people to do well, too."

Kimray says stronger sales have helped the business reinvest in the store, including new shelving purchases and increased wages for employees, including a recent $2.50 hourly raise for a high school student worker.

Darcy Michalek, owner of Michalek Enterprises in Omaha, NE said: "We have seen a great benefit from the Working Families Tax Cut because 90% of our employees are tipped employees and the benefit there has been great for them. We're just thrilled and so thankful that we're able to see those tax cuts"

Darcy Michalek, a constituent of Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), owns five Nebraska businesses, including several Subway franchise locations and Garbo's Salon and Spa. Nebraska has seen new state-level laws requiring higher minimum wage and paid leave which increases her costs, but she's been able to offset those with savings from the Working Families Tax Cuts.

Danny Reynolds, owner of Stephenson's of Elkhart in Indiana said: "We've been in hiring mode at Stevenson's and have added two new employees since the start of the year, which is always a great sign for our business. Customers are seeing larger returns and deciding to spend a bit more on important moments like weddings and proms. For us, that kind of confidence makes a big difference. That helps us grow higher and continue serving our community the same way we have for generations."

Danny Reynolds, a constituent of Rep. Rudy Yakym (R-IN), owns Stephenson's of Elkhart, a women's fashion boutique that has operated on Elkhart's Main Street for nearly 100 years and remains a fixture in the local community.

Republicans delivered tax relief that gives Main Street businesses the certainty and flexibility to grow, invest, and create jobs while cutting back on burdensome Washington red tape. When small businesses can succeed and workers keep more of what they earn, Americans have a better shot at getting ahead.
