Mainstreet Minnesota small businesses will be able to hire more people and give their employees a raise. Our employers will be able to compete around the world selling American goods and services, and invest more in American headquarters, jobs, research, and innovation. And, families across Minnesota will have more money in their pockets to save for the future.\u201d\u00a0\r\n\r\n\tThe tax reform proposal is set to go to the House floor next week.\r\n\r\n\tCongressman Paulsen, a champion of small business and advocate of free enterprise, entrepreneurship, and innovation, serves on the House Ways and Means Committee, the bicameral Joint Economic Committee, and is co-chair of the Congressional Medical Technology Caucus.\r\n\r\n\tFor more information on Congressman Paulsen\u2019s work in Congress visit\u00a0paulsen.house.gov.\u00a0\r\n\r\n\t\u00a0###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://paulsen.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=22&itemid=1930"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.941538019105792, "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"}
