U.S. Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., held a “Small Business Tour” with U.S. Small Business Administrator (SBA) Isabella Guzman in Fernandina Beach this week.
“During the tour, small business owners and franchises weighed in on how skyrocketing inflation is impacting their daily operations,” Bean’s office noted.
The event included a roundtable with the Nassau County Chamber and a tour of small businesses on Fernandina Beach’s Main Street.
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy in Northeast Florida. Today, I led a Small Business Tour in Nassau County to hear directly from business owners and franchises about their concerns related to inflation, supply chain challenges, and labor shortages. I will always support our small businesses and workers against burdensome regulations and champion Florida polices that help, not hurt working families,” said Bean who sits on the U.S. House Small Business Community.
After serving in both chambers of the Florida Legislature, rising to become president pro tempore of the state Senate, Bean was elected to Congress last year.
