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.

Hill committed, as Co-Chair of the relaunched bipartisan House Entrepreneurship Caucus, to work with colleagues to promote policies and strategies supporting entrepreneurs.

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.

Within the lookback window, Hill led a committee markup that advanced multiple financial-services bills framed around economic growth and regulatory policy. This is concrete ongoing work, though not final enactment for those bills.

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.

During the lookback window, Hill's committee examined policies directly tied to startups, fintech innovation, and small-business cash flow. This supports continued work on an environment for business formation and growth.

The Capital Markets Subcommittee held a hearing on the investment ecosystem.

The committee record shows recent work on capital markets and capital formation, including explicit discussion of small- and mid-size companies 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.

Hill voted for final House passage of a bill that became Public Law 119-21 and included small-business and business-investment tax provisions. This is enacted-policy support, not just messaging.

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.

The enacted law Hill supported contains concrete provisions aimed at small business, startups, investment, and business owners, supporting delivery of the broad pro-entrepreneurship commitment.

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.

Hill took an explicit legislative position linking regulatory certainty to entrepreneurs and innovation. The action later became Public Law 119-5, showing more than a failed or symbolic effort.

Assessments

delivered later_term A for effort

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.
