Following the event, Congressman Cline and Deputy Administrator Briggs toured Butler Parachute Systems where they saw the cutting-edge technology manufactured at its Roanoke facility. Quote Attributable to Congressman Cline: “Small businesses are the heartbeat of our Nation and our communities, and it’s critical to America’s economic success that we continue to advance policies that make it easier for entrepreneurs to do business,” said Rep Cline. “From discussing how small businesses have benefited from the Working Families Tax Cuts to addressing obstacles like access to capital, burdensome regulations, and infrastructure, conversations like this help to inform my goals and decisions in Washington. It was a privilege to join SBA Deputy Administrator Briggs and Visa to hear firsthand about the challenges and triumphs of Sixth District business owners.” Quote Attributable to SBA Deputy Administrator Bill Briggs: “Under President Trump, SBA is committed to supporting local businesses like Butler Parachute Systems that are a critical part of the defense industrial base. SBA’s loan programs are designed to help growing manufacturers like Butler Parachute Systems invest, hire, and grow. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see their excellent products in person alongside Congressman Cline, whose support for these programs makes it all possible,” said Deputy Administrator Briggs. | 1 | 2026-09-02T09:19:58Z | 2026-09-02T09:20:51Z |
