Comstock Votes To Help Small Businesses

Washington, DC - Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-VA) issued the following statement on the passage of H.R. 636, America’s Small Business Tax Relief Act which passed the House by a bipartisan vote of 272 to 142.

“Small businesses are at the heart of a healthy economy and we need to make sure more can grow right here in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District,” said Congresswoman Comstock.  “I supported today’s tax legislation that we passed in the House because it will help give small business owners more certainty when it comes to the tax code.  This legislation will let them access capital and reinvest and grow their businesses.  It is estimated by the NFIB that the legislation passed today has the potential to create 200,000 jobs.  Now the Senate needs to pass this job-creating bipartisan piece of legislation, so we can get it on President Obama’s desk and get small businesses and people back on their feet to build a healthy economy.”
