FLEMINGTON, NJ – Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-07) and representatives of the Hunterdon County Business Community held a news conference on Wednesday, August 18 in Flemington to discuss current economic policies that are hurting New Jersey’s small businesses.

During the event, Lance discussed his support for free-market solutions that will help New Jersey’s economy grow, expand and create jobs.

These include extending Bush-era tax relief that is set to expire at the year’s end, reducing regulatory burdens and repealing and replacing the new health care law with common sense reforms that include small business pooling and medical malpractice reform.

“Higher taxes, unchecked spending, government bailouts and new health care mandates are just a few of the job-killing policies passed by Congress that are putting a strain on many small-and medium-sized businesses in the Hunterdon County,” said Lance inside the Hunterdon Academy of the Arts.

Lance was joined by Ms. Valentina Jotovic, the owner of the Hunterdon Academy of the Arts.
