Small business owners from across the country traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet with lawmakers about crucial issues affecting their businesses. The NFIB D.C. Fly-In event provided opportunities for small business owners to discuss repealing Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting and lowering credit card swipe fees with lawmakers.
Key Issues Discussed
U.S. Representative Brad Finstad (MN-01) spoke about the security concerns surrounding the personally identifiable data previously submitted to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) by U.S. businesses. U.S. Senator Roger Marshall (KS) discussed legislation to lower credit card swipe fees. U.S. Representative Mark Messmer (IN-08) shared his support for stopping the federal Heat Standard mandate.

NFIB President Brad Close said, “We thank each official who met with small business owners and listened to their message about the solutions that will allow them to invest more of their hard-earned dollars back into their employees, businesses, and communities.” NFIB is a member-driven organization advocating on behalf of small and independent businesses nationwide.
