Rigell Joins Congressional Job Creators Caucus
Rep. Rigell Joins Other Small Business-Owners in the 112th Congress to Offer Input on Job Creation
Washington, DC,
Mar 28, 2011 -
Today Rep. Scott Rigell (VA-02) joined other small business owners as a member of the Congressional Job Creators Caucus. The permanent working group, which is open exclusively to those Members of Congress with experience as small business owners, intends to apply real-world job creating experience to the congressional legislative process through forums, white papers and most importantly, recommended legislative action.
Rep. Rigell looks forward to working with other like minded individuals who know what it takes to create jobs.
"As a business owner and entrepreneur with more than 25 years of private sector experience, I am excited to join other Members of Congress in the Job Creators Caucus who have a similar background. With unemployment pushing 9%, Congress needs the input of former business owners who have had the first hand experience of saying, "You're hired.” I will bring my experience as a job creator to work in this caucus to get government out of the way and free up our small business owners across the country to start hiring again."
Rep. Reid Ribble (WI-08) a founding member of the caucus, who ran a small, successful roofing business in Appleton, Wisconsin for over 30 years, welcomed the addition of Rep. Scott Rigell to the caucus.
“I’m honored to welcome Rep. Scott Rigell to our caucus and know that he stands ready to apply his private sector skills into molding a more jobs-friendly Congress,” said Ribble. “Decades of experience have taught Rep. Rigell what it takes to run a successful business that creates jobs and I greatly look forward to adding his expertise to our working group.”
Additional members of the caucus include: Reid Ribble (WI-08), Scott Rigell (VA-02), Richard Hanna (NY-24), and Stephen Fincher (TN-08).
