This Republican-led initiative will focus on providing all Americans with more opportunities through a pro-worker agenda and policies that promote economic freedom and upward mobility\u2014like low taxes and less regulation.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m honored to have been selected by Leader McCarthy to serve on the Jobs and Economy Taskforce. As a former small business owner, I know how tough it can be to ride waves the economy sends our way. The pandemic sent a tide that reverberated throughout the entire country, and Democrat policies have only sunk American businesses and workers deeper.\n\n\u201cIt is my hope that this taskforce can identify solutions that will get Americans back to work and create lasting benefits to U.S. economic competitiveness. I\u2019m excited to get started with my colleagues and accomplish this goal,\u201d said Congressman Fitzgerald.\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\nThe Jobs and Economy Taskforce is led by Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10) and is one of seven issue specific taskforces designed to identify and develop policy solutions to the issues facing the American people.\n\nHouse Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) formally announced the members and creation of the Republican taskforces last month as a response to President Biden\u2019s snowballing crises and misguided legislating by the left.\n\n###\n\nCongressman Scott Fitzgerald was sworn in to the 117th Congress on January 3, 2021 and is proud to represent Wisconsin\u2019s Fifth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:03:51Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fitzgerald.house.gov/media/press-releases/fitzgerald-kicks-work-jobs-economy-taskforce"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0525980032980442, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
