Walsh’s Weekly Wrap-Up

An email from Congressman Joe Walsh:

Dear Friend,

This past week, Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, Congressman Sam Graves joined me for a visit to Illinois’ 8th District.

Congressman Joe Walsh and Sam Graves held a Town Hall Meeting for small business this past week.

We held a small business town hall meeting in Schaumburg which provided a unique opportunity for owners and representatives of local small businesses and other constituents to share their thoughts and learn about matters currently before the U.S. House Small Business Committee

This week I also voted with my colleagues to pass H.R. 8, the Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act.

This legislation stops the impending tax hike that would have translated to a nearly $2,200 tax increase for a family of four earning $50,000 a year. Hardworking Americans are overburdened by taxes, and raising taxes would slow the already tepid economic recovery. To learn more about this legislation, please click here.

I am also looking forward to holding three town hall meetings next week in the district. Since coming to Congress, I have held over 150 town hall meetings throughout the district and I welcome folks with varying viewpoints to come and be heard. Please find more information about the times and locations of the town hall meetings below!

Finally, my staff will hold mobile office hours every Friday from 12:00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m. at the Schaumburg Township Center, One Illinois Blvd. Hoffman Estates, IL. If you cannot make it to one of my district offices, let us come to you!

I work for you,

Joe Walsh
