Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act

Floor Speech

Date: July 26, 2022
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 5128, the Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act.

I thank Representatives Axne and Mooney for their work on H.R. 5128. In the Financial Services Committee, we continually highlight the importance of capital formation for entrepreneurs and job creators in the underbanked rural communities. We all know constituents who have struggled to gain capital to begin their own small businesses.

Small and rural counties and the small businesses in those areas are even more vulnerable during recessions and during economic recovery. H.R. 5128 is an example of legislation that can help solve one of the biggest issues for a number of rural small businesses: access to capital.

Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 5128, and I yield back the balance of my time.
