Thank you @POTUS for your leadership on promoting access to Hemp-derived CBD. I agree Congress must deliver on important reforms, and after years of working on this issue, my HEMP Act is one potential solution to address this important policy.

Just a few days ago, WSWA Chairwoman Dina Opici stood shoulder to shoulder with President @realDonaldTrump and business owners from across the country at the @WhiteHouse to champion Main Street businesses and call for the swift passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Dina urged the U.S. Senate to follow the House’s lead by securing 199A at 23% and preserving vital estate tax provisions. Main Street needs certainty and the ability to compete in a global economy. An America without family-owned businesses won’t be recognizable. The President’s desk awaits this bill for signature! @SenToddYoung @Jim_Banks @SenatorCollins @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody @SenMikeLee @RandPaul @SenBillCassidy @HawleyMO @SenateGOP 📖 Read the recap: wswa.org/news/wswa-chairwoma… #OBBBA #199A #MainStreetMatters #SmallBusiness #WSWA #FamilyOwned #TaxPolicy #OneBigBeautifulBill

Some argue Section 199A gives pass-through businesses a “tax advantage.” What’s often missed is the reality: pass-throughs are taxed at the individual level every year—regardless of reinvestment, payroll, or inventory—unlike C-corps. 🔗 wswa.org/news/making-199a-pe… #BusinessNews

This afternoon, I held a roundtable in Shelby County with the Main Street Coalition, including @WSWAMedia. I appreciated hearing their priorities for an upcoming tax package in Congress. As a member of @WaysandMeansGOP, I am working to ensure that Republican tax cuts do not expire, and families and businesses are not forced to give more of their hard-earned money to Uncle Sam.

So glad to see that Coke, in exploring the beverage alcohol business, is embracing the successful 3-tier system: brewbound.com/news/coca-cola… "We believe that independent distributors are the experts, and thus they’re best equipped to work with the communities that they serve.”

A piecemeal approach amplifies the problems impacting the legitimate cannabis industry, per @natsfert. It also does little to address consumer safety - labeling, testing, product standards, etc. Apply the alcohol model! Working for nearly 100yrs! @jfberke wswa.org/cannabis-reform
A few things I've been pondering about this scenario: -it's essentially unregulated capitalism. Enforcement of state regs has been pretty patchy; FDA or TTB fills that space for most other industries -interstate commerce and how the lack thereof impacts illegal cultivation
