Despite Gridlock, Stauber Passes Legislation to Strengthen Small Business Contracting

Last night, Congressman Pete Stauber's (MN-08) bipartisan legislation to help more small businesses compete for federal contracts passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill will now head to the U.S. Senate for consideration.

The Strengthening Subcontracting for Small Business Act will ensure that federal government contractors are utilizing small businesses in subcontracts.

"Small businesses are the engines driving our economy, yet it's becoming more difficult for them to compete for federal contracts," said Congressman Stauber. "At a time when small businesses are struggling with inflation, a supply chain crisis, and a labor shortage, this legislation will provide them with a greater opportunity for success. I'm glad to see this critical legislation pass the House and hope to see quick action in the Senate."

Background: Congressman Stauber sits on the House Small Business Committee.
