Chairman Williams: “Independent Work, Real Opportunity: The Gig Economy and the Future of Entrepreneurship”

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Committee on Small Business is holding a hearing titled “Independent Work, Real Opportunity: The Gig Economy and the Future of Entrepreneurship.”

Chairman Roger Williams’ opening statement as prepared for delivery:

Welcome to today’s hearing, “Independent Work, Real Opportunity: The Gig Economy and the Future of Entrepreneurship.”

The gig economy is broadly defined as an economy in which people earn income by providing on-demand work, services, or goods. Regardless of one’s views on gig entrepreneurship, the truth is that it is becoming an increasingly large part of each of our everyday lives – especially for younger generations.

Today, gig entrepreneurship takes many forms and is commonly facilitated through digital platforms like apps and websites. Of course, ridesharing and delivery are major parts of the ecosystem, but there are many other industries that are part of the gig economy.

Some gig platforms are tailored towards housework, handyman projects, running errands, or cleaning. At the same time, other platforms cover professional services, such as IT, graphic design, and other freelance work.

One reason people turn to gig work is to gain flexibility and control in their work schedules.

Whether they are a student, grandmother, or aspiring entrepreneur, they can mold their gig work schedule to match their availability.

The gig economy supports American entrepreneurship by providing the flexibility and income needed to launch small businesses. It also allows entrepreneurs to get started quickly by leveraging a built-in customer base to kickstart their businesses.

The motivations that lead people to gig work, such as flexibility and self-ownership, also drive self-employment and entrepreneurship.

In 2025, as much as 36 percent of the U.S. workforce, or 70 million Americans, engaged in gig or freelance work, which generated roughly $1.5 trillion in annual earnings.

Which is why it was so surprising that the Biden-Harris Administration launched an all-out attack on the gig economy.

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, gig entrepreneurs were threatened with IRS audits if they did not report Venmo or PayPal payments over $600, and the Biden-Harris Department of Labor issued rules that added regulatory complexity, threatening to upend the gig economy altogether.

Thankfully, President Trump has reversed these decisions and changed the reporting threshold in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. President Trump also boosted the gig economy and American workers through No Tax on Tips.

When small businesses and entrepreneurs have the autonomy to shape their own work, they are better positioned to earn, build, and succeed on their own terms, leading to a more resilient American economy.

Thank you to our witnesses for joining us today. I look forward to the conversation ahead.

I now recognize the distinguished Ranking Member, Representative Velazquez, for her opening remarks.

Committee on Small Business Holds Hearing on How the Gig Economy is Reshaping Entrepreneurship in America

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, held a hearing titled “Independent Work, Real Opportunity: The Gig Economy and the Future of Entrepreneurship” to examine how the gig economy is expanding opportunity, lowering barriers to entry, and creating new pathways for Americans to start and grow businesses.

“This hearing demonstrated that the rise of the gig economy is creating real opportunities on Main Street,” said Chairman Williams. “Independent work allows Americans to earn, build, and succeed on their own terms. Republicans delivered the Working Families Tax Cuts to secure this progress by lowering taxes, reducing regulations, and ensuring that gig entrepreneurs and small businesses keep more of their earnings. Digital platforms are expanding customer access, while flexible, project-based work enables businesses to scale and compete. These policies make entrepreneurship more accessible than ever, fueling a new generation of small business owners who are reshaping our economy.”

Below are some key excerpts from today’s hearing:

Chairman Williams: “Ms. Buxton, throughout our nation’s history, small businesses have grown by adapting to change and finding new ways to compete. Today, the gig economy continues to transform how small businesses and entrepreneurs operate. My question is: As someone who is successfully adapting to this shift, can you describe how your business has embraced gig entrepreneurs and the impact that has had on your operations and your growth?” Ms. Buxton: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the question. The gig economy has helped our growth because we are a small business, but we serve large companies. Many large companies want to work with small businesses because we’re nimble. We have new ideas, and we innovate. But often, we don’t have access to all the people we need. We’ve been able to grow by working with various consultants and a fractional CFO. We can bring on a project manager for a project that we only need for a couple of weeks. So now, for example, instead of having to do work for a client all year round, we can do work for them for two weeks—for a quick in-and-out project—which is really very helpful to our clients, and it’s helped us grow our business. We would not have been able to make those investments in employees in advance without having the projects coming in. So the gig economy has really helped us get access to capabilities.”

Rep. Meuser: “The Department of Labor under the Trump Administration ruled to provide greater clarity around independent contractor status. Can you explain why clear and flexible worker classification is so important for gig entrepreneurs who value independence and control over their schedules?” Ms. Acevedo: “I think that the flexibility alone makes a big difference. For us personally, we’re able to, even with our own customers, when they call in, and they want something to go out quickly, and our drivers are already on a different run. We send them through DoorDash so they can pick it up and get it out quickly. So, we’re really excited to have the platform and to use it to our advantage.”

Rep. King-Hinds: “We do have young entrepreneurs. One, Cameron Atalig, is trying to develop an app. I want this to be an opportunity to encourage somebody like him to focus on figuring it out. How do we break into this new industry? This question is for you, Ms. Sharp. How do digital platforms help reduce barriers to entry, such as capital requirements, access to customers, or other administrative burdens, for aspiring entrepreneurs? In what ways do they support small businesses beyond just providing delivery or logistics for services? I want him to hear this, or that he can be encouraged to focus and, hopefully, create this type of industry back home.” Ms. Sharp: “Thank you for that question, Congresswoman. I think that you’ve hit on a couple of different, really important things. The first and foremost is that, generationally, we are seeing younger people embrace digital platforms and digital work to learn entrepreneurship skills so enthusiastically. So, the fact that you have constituents who are doing that doesn’t surprise me. There are three basic ways that digital platforms support entrepreneurship. The first is experimentation. Through a platform, you are able to try out multiple kinds of work. You can jump on and off at your leisure and work whenever and wherever you want to, often around other kinds of work. So that’s one. Secondly, it provides a ready, easy on-ramp to earning money immediately. There’s no waiting, there’s no application, there’s no two weeks before you hear back from a potential boss. You are the boss. So, you learn how to operate in that sense. It used to be, many years ago, in this country, that people’s first jobs, often in the service industry, were things where you learned about the chain of command. Now we see people learning how to be their own bosses and how to do things like multitasking and evaluating the cost-benefit of working with or through different platforms. Those skills of entrepreneurship are so critically important.”

Chairman Williams: “Lower Taxes, Stronger Main Street: The Benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts”

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Committee on Small Business is holding a hearing titled “Lower Taxes, Stronger Main Street: The Benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts.”

Chairman Roger Williams’ opening statement as prepared for delivery:

Welcome to today’s hearing titled, “Lower Taxes, Stronger Main Street: The Benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts.”

To begin, I want to thank our witnesses for joining us today and sharing their expertise and experiences. It is important to hear about the practical realities and impact of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act that Congressional Republicans and the Trump Administration delivered for the American people.

Your perspectives will help the Committee continue to craft policy that serves the needs of small businesses.

I also thank my colleagues for joining us as we learn how the Working Families Tax Cuts Act is benefiting Main Street.

Today, the Committee will examine the provisions of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act – the largest tax cuts in American history – that are especially beneficial to small businesses. We will hear how these provisions provide greater stability and predictability, enabling small businesses to make strategic, long-term business decisions with confidence.

In addition, the Committee will explore how the Working Families Tax Cuts Act supports broader economic recovery by putting more money back in the hands of small businesses, expanding their capacity to reinvest in their businesses, and strengthening the economy.

From 100% expensing to no tax on tips, this bill is already putting more money back into hardworking Americans’ pockets.

In fact, just the other day I was dining at a restaurant in my district and a waitress came up to me to tell me that the no tax on tips was allowing her to send her daughter to cheerleading camp.

This is a simple yet impactful story of how this bill supports Main Street.

Small business owners have demonstrated remarkable grit and resilience in the face of ever-evolving challenges. As a car dealer myself, I’ve experienced many of these challenges right alongside them. The Working Families Tax Cuts Act offers critical support and stability at a time when small businesses need it most.

For small businesses to thrive, they must have the agency and flexibility to allocate their capital and resources in ways that reflect their unique priorities and circumstances.

The Working Families Tax Cuts Act provides that freedom, empowering small businesses to make the strategic decisions necessary to grow, invest, and succeed.

This hearing is an important opportunity for the Committee to deepen its understanding of how tax policy directly shapes the success and stability of small businesses and to identify where our work must continue.

We are committed to ensuring that our tax code works for small businesses, entrepreneurs, workers, and their families who drive our economy.

I want to thank all of our witnesses again for joining us today, and I look forward to the conversation ahead.

With that, I yield to our distinguished Ranking Member from New York, Ms. Velázquez, for her opening remarks.

Committee on Small Business Holds Hearing to Discuss How the Working Families Tax Cuts Act Benefit Main Street

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, held a hearing titled “Lower Taxes, Stronger Main Street: The Benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts” to examine how the Working Families Tax Cuts Act—the largest tax relief effort in American history—is delivering for America’s small businesses.

“This Tax Day, thanks to President Trump and Republican Congressional leadership, we secured real tax relief for Main Street,” said Chairman Williams. “The Working Families Tax Cuts give our small businesses the certainty and flexibility they need to succeed, and today’s hearing made clear just how impactful these policies are for hardworking Americans. By making this relief permanent, we are empowering small businesses to invest, hire, and grow while helping bring an end to the failed policies and inflation of the Biden era. That’s how you strengthen Main Street and keep the American economy competitive.”

---

Watch the full hearing here.

Below are some key excerpts from today’s hearing:

Chairman Williams: “Ms. Tapani, as you know, the Working Families Tax Cuts Act extended and made permanent the 100 percent bonus depreciation, which we’ve all been talking about this morning, while also adding in a new provision of no tax on overtime. Could you describe how these specific elements of the Working Families Tax Cuts have benefited your business and your employees?” Ms. Tapani: “Certainly, the only way that U.S. manufacturers can remain competitive in this global economy is to invest in equipment. We need people —we need equipment and raw materials to be successful. If you’re not constantly investing in equipment, you cannot meet the needs of your customers. I deal with enormous manufacturers in the state of Minnesota and throughout the country that have ever-increasing demands and needs; to be able to invest in that equipment is really helpful. It’s also helping us close the skills gap, which I think is important. If we can’t deduct the cost of that equipment right away, I might as well get out a crystal ball and try to predict what’s going to happen in the future. Manufacturing has been in contraction—in and out of contraction—for the past several years. My crystal ball doesn’t show me when that’s going to come to an end, so being able to make a decision today to buy something and expense it is everything to my business; it’s serving my community and my customers. As far as my employees go, when they have to work overtime to help us get a project done, that’s come in unexpectedly for a customer, they might have to leave their children in day care for longer. They might have additional expenses. Everybody knows, people are experiencing higher grocery costs and some other costs, the more of that hard earned money that they can keep, is important to them, their happiness, and their ability to pay for their everyday needs, their child care, their health care, whatever that might be, matters to me, so I’m thankful that they can keep more of their overtime pay.”

Rep. Alford: “This bill is about more though than tax relief. It’s about creating an environment where small businesses compete, plan, and succeed. Monday, the Small Business Administrator, Kelly Loeffler, came to our district and visited a good friend of mine, Franco Cupini, who owns a great Italian restaurant in Kansas City. He told the Administrator firsthand the benefits that it was having for his business and his employees, who were getting large refund checks. The immediate expensing that he was able to conduct for his small business. I’m telling you, Franco Cupini is not a millionaire and not a billionaire. I want to know, Mr. Watson, how many small businesses are classified as an S Corp pass-through corporation in America?” Mr. Watson: “The majority of small businesses are pass-through firms; the others are an S Corp, a sole proprietorship, or a partnership.” Rep. Alford: “How many of those--I looked it up, there’s about five million operating as an S Corp in America. This comes from your website. How many of those have an income of greater than half a million dollars?” Mr. Watson: “I’m not sure of the exact amount, but a large number of them do not have that level of income.” Rep. Alford: “Right, I looked it up on your website. It’s about 3.1 percent. We are talking about a large number, millions of companies, start-ups, mom and pops who have invested their time, their resources, their blood, sweat, and tears a lot of times into the small businesses, who now have a shot at success and competing with the big guys.”

Rep. Van Duyne: “Ms. Borbolla, I want to ask you: how beneficial is it for a company like Renfro Foods to have a solid picture of what the tax environment will look like 5, 10, 15 years out?” Ms. Renfro Borbolla: “It allows us to pay our employees more, provide benefits, we have a matching 401k, we pay a hundred percent of their health care insurance premiums, and fifty percent of their dependents. That’s huge. We cannot do that if we don’t know what the taxes are going to be tomorrow or in five years.” Rep. Van Duyne: “So, are you investing more in upgrading and scaling up and the future growth of your business?” Ms. Renfro Borbolla: “Yes, we are. One of the things we upgraded—that the bonus depreciation helped us—was we put in a line, a new production line, that ran and took us from running a hundred jars a minute to two hundred jars a minute.”

Chairman Williams Op-Ed: Working Families Tax Cuts are a Beacon for Main Street America

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the following Op-Ed by Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, appeared in The Washington Examiner.

“I’ve been a car dealer for over 50 years, and each April, I see my employees sit down with their tax forms and leave frustrated after working hard, only to keep less of what they earn each year.

“After four years of Biden-era inflation, skyrocketing costs, and a tax code that penalized hard work instead of rewarding it, working families deserved better. This Tax Day, through the leadership of congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump, working American families are finally getting what they’re due.

“As Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, I am already seeing and hearing the benefits of one of the most consequential pro-growth tax bills in a generation, the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.

“I’ve spent my time in Washington fighting for the men and women who take risks, innovate, and strengthen local communities. This crucial legislation makes key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent — the most significant overhaul of the U.S. tax code since 1986 — and goes even further. No tax on tips. No tax on overtime. 100% expensing. These are real, tangible changes for real, hard-working people.

“The numbers prove it. This year is set to be the largest refund season in American history: refunds are up nearly 11%, topping $3,700, and almost 20 million workers are keeping more of their overtime pay. Additionally, more than 4.6 million tipped workers are taking home what they actually earned.

“That’s real money back in Americans’ pockets.

“When working families and small businesses have more money, they don’t sit on it — they spend it, invest it, and grow with it. That’s how Main Street rises. When Main Street thrives, the American economy grows even stronger.

“The Working Families Tax Cuts Act keeps the United States competitive at home, while maintaining our economic dominance abroad. Under the previous administration, businesses moved overseas, supply chains left American soil, and local communities paid the price. This tax relief bill puts America first again, bringing jobs and investment back home and ensuring the U.S. remains the best place in the world to start, grow, and keep a business.

“By allowing small businesses to immediately expense capital investments, it fuels productivity, drives reinvestment, and leads to more jobs and higher wages. Restoring 100% expensing helps Main Street innovate, expand, and keep pace with global competitors.

“The Expanded 199A deduction, which was raised from 20% to 23% and made permanent, is projected to generate $750 billion in economic growth and create over 1 million new small business jobs annually. Nearly 12 million small business owners are already seeing an average tax reduction of $7,000.

“That’s what happens when you are back on Main Street: stronger small businesses, better-paying jobs, and more investment in American communities, not overseas.

“My Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act works hand in hand with the Working Families Tax Cuts Act and Trump’s “America First” agenda to revitalize domestic manufacturing, onshore supply chains, and reward small businesses that build in the U.S. It’s simple: If you invest in America, America should invest in you.

“Trump ran on making the U.S. affordable and keeping America competitive, and Republicans delivered on both.

“This Tax Day, millions of people are feeling the difference. Small businesses built this country, and the Working Families Tax Cuts Act ensures they can keep building it for generations to come.”

Chairman Williams: “Defending Main Street: Combating CCP Threats to America’s Small Businesses.”

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 04:00:00 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Committee on Small Business is holding a hearing titled “Defending Main Street: Combating CCP Threats to America’s Small Businesses.”

Chairman Roger Williams’ opening statement as prepared for delivery:

Welcome to today’s hearing titled “Defending Main Street: Combating CCP Threats to American Small Businesses.”

First, I want to thank our witnesses for being here today and for sharing their expertise on this important issue. I also thank my colleagues for joining us as we examine the challenges facing America’s small businesses in an increasingly competitive and complex global environment.

Small businesses are essential to the American economy. They drive innovation, create jobs, and strengthen our communities. From cutting-edge technology startups to family-owned manufacturers, small businesses play a vital role in driving America’s economy and reinforcing our national security.

However, this vital engine of our economy is under threat.

The Chinese Communist Party has made it a priority to challenge the United States economically and strategically. In doing so, the CCP is exploiting every opportunity to target American innovation.

American entrepreneurs invest significant time, capital, and ingenuity into developing new products and technologies. Yet, far too often, those innovations are stolen, replicated overseas, and sold at a lower cost, undermining the very businesses that created them.

CCP linked investments in small businesses also raise serious concerns. Many small businesses, particularly startups, rely on outside capital to grow and scale. But when that capital comes from entities tied directly or indirectly to foreign adversaries, sensitive technologies and proprietary information risk being exposed and exploited.

In some cases, these investments are structured in ways that obscure their true origin, making it difficult for entrepreneurs to identify the potential risks.

Additionally, supply chain dependence on China continues to pose a serious threat. For decades, American businesses outsourced production to China due to low labor costs.

While this was efficient in the short term, it also created significant risks, especially for small businesses that lack the resources to shift production or diversify suppliers.

These challenges are not just economic; they are matters of national security.

Today’s hearing is an opportunity to better understand how these threats impact small businesses and identify practical solutions. We must ensure that America’s entrepreneurs have the tools they need to protect their innovations, secure trusted sources of capital, and build resilient supply chains.

If we fail to act, we risk losing not only our competitive edge, but also the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that define our nation.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses about their experiences and recommendations for how Congress can support and protect America’s small businesses.

With that, I now yield to our distinguished Ranking Member from New York, Ms. Velázquez, for her opening remarks.
