Irving, TX – Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24) was recently selected to co-chair the Congressional Franchise Caucus alongside Reps. Kevin Hern (R-OK-01), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ-05), and Tony Cárdenas (D-CA-29). The Congressional Franchise Caucus is a bipartisan group of Members of Congress that was formed to promote and educate about the community contributions of local franchise businesses across the country.

“Contributing more than $1 trillion annually and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in our communities, small and franchise businesses are a vital part of economic growth and opportunity for our country,” said Rep. Beth Van Duyne. “I continue to hear from North Texan franchise small businesses about the many challenges they face – from workforce issues to regulatory troubles – and am working to get the federal government out of the way for our job creators. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to deliver solutions that help our nation’s franchise small businesses continue to operate through the challenges they face."
