Congresswoman Hahn Elected to Small Business Subcommittee

Washington, D.C.–On Feb. 14 Congresswoman Janice Hahn was elected Ranking Member of the Small Business Subcommittee on Health and Technology

“Small businesses are the beating heart of the American economy, and they are a big source of opportunity, pride and jobs in the communities I represent,” Hahn said. “I’m looking forward to helping our small businesses navigate the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and working to empower them with the tools and resources they need to thrive. If we expand their access to capital, help export their goods to new markets over the seas, and above all, bring more customers in through their front doors, I know there is no limit to what American small business can achieve.”
