WASHINGTON—Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson cosponsored a resolution to designate May 3rd to May 9th, 2026, as National Small Business Week. This resolution is sponsored by Rep. Brad Finstad (R-MN).
“Idaho’s small businesses are the backbone of our state and economy,” said Rep. Simpson. “In my district alone, there are 24,142 small businesses with employees. I will always advocate for policies that invest in our small businesses and deliver tax certainty, like the Working Families Tax Cuts. As National Small Business Week comes to an end, I join Idahoans in expressing my gratitude to the small business owners and employees throughout our great state.”The full text of this resolution is available here.
