This week, I had the opportunity to spend some time in Lee County and attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for Walker Automotive’s new store in Sanford. This is a small family-owned business that has been around for generations and continues to thrive across North Carolina. As a former small business owner myself, I hold a special place in my heart for businesses like Walker Automotive. I know the sweat and commitment that is poured into building a brand and a legacy that will last for generations.
While on site, I had the opportunity to discuss what we are doing to provide new opportunities for small business owners. This includes passing legislation to foster a pro-growth climate for business owners and utilizing a formal review process of regulations issued by federal agencies so we can prevent burdensome, expensive regulations from directly impacting businesses.
I also penned an opinion piece in my hometown paper, The Dunn Daily Record, and will soon have an opportunity to present the Congressional Award Bronze Medal to a 15-year-old high school student. Scroll down to learn more!
