I'm looking forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as Co-Chair, all of whom have either started or ran a business, to promote strategies and policies that create an environment where entrepreneurs can thrive.
Will work with colleagues to promote strategies and policies that create an environment where entrepreneurs, startups, and small business owners can thrive.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House Committee on Financial Services, led by Chairman French Hill, reported 10 bills to the full House and approved a resolution. The committee said the bills reflected efforts to promote economic growth, protect markets, strengthen confidence in the financial system, and reinforce regulatory frameworks.
The committee held a hearing on payments innovation. The release highlighted testimony and member statements that new payment technologies can lower costs, improve cash flow, help startups grow, and that regulatory clarity could spur investment in financial services.
The Capital Markets Subcommittee held a hearing on the investment ecosystem. The release quoted Hill discussing the growth of retail flows and investment options, and witness material said active management is important to capital formation, especially for small- and mid-size companies that drive jobs and innovation.
The Clerk recorded H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, as passed on a 218-214 vote. The roll call lists Hill (AR), Republican, Arkansas, voting Aye.
Public Law 119-21 includes a chapter on job creators and a subchapter titled Permanent Investments in Small Business and Rural America. It expands qualified small business stock gain exclusion and includes other small-business provisions, including enhanced employer-provided child care credit for eligible small businesses.
Hill applauded House passage of H.J. Res. 25, said he voted to overturn the digital-asset broker rule, and said Congress should provide legal and regulatory certainty so technologies and entrepreneurs can flourish in the United States.
Assessments
Hill materially advanced and supported federal policies tied to entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses, including voting for H.R. 1, which became Public Law 119-21 with small-business investment and tax provisions. He also led or supported committee work on capital formation, payments innovation, regulatory clarity, and digital-asset policy. The promise was broad and framed as working with colleagues to promote a favorable policy environment, so enacted pro-small-business provisions and sustained committee activity are enough for delivery. Timing is later_term because the cited delivery occurred in later congressional service rather than the original campaign term.
