NFIB members Wendy and Marci Bittner of LOSHAW Thermal Technology join to share what the 20% Small Business Deduction has allowed them to do and what it will mean to their business if the deduction is allowed to expire at the end of 2025. Representative Lloyd Smucker discusses why this issue is so important to him and his constituents, and NFIB’s Director of Government Relations Lauren Hancock provides an update on NFIB’s advocacy efforts.
